The USA-based Zwaremachine has released a new single/lyric video/remix EP, "Waking The Night".
"Waking The Night" was the first song mixed for the upcoming third Zwaremachine's full-length and is a departure from the band's usual industrial/EBM sound. This song features the drumming of Dein Offizier, who passed away in August 2023. The band was in the process of writing and recording songs for the new album at the same time that he was battling acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and wanted to honour him with this release. The loss of Dein Offizier was devastating to the members of Zwaremachine, and production on the album was delayed as they tried to figure out how to move forward as he had wished that they would continue no matter what. Dein Offizier certainly cannot be replaced, and he brought a huge presence to the stage with his booming Surdo drum, character, and humour. Zwaremachine dedicates this song to his memory. Link
