With their fifth album "Engel im Rausch" (Intoxicated Angel) Grausame Töchter continue their contant development. On the new album you get drawn into a story about an intoxicated night, in which you get seduced by singer Aranea Peel (on the opening track Engel im Rausch), and where you find yourself waking up the next morning to bright sunrays, with the last song ”Helle Sonne”.
The other songs therebetween narrate aspects from an ecstatic and at times psychedelic night,always leaving it open, whether the various metaphors - mostly dealing with heaven and the universe – are to stand for Love, Drugs, Sex… or something completely different? With many lyrics, it only becomes clear at a second or third glance that everything is more complex in terms of content and more in-depth than it seems first. And musically speaking, the act proves once again to be very open and varied: Sometimes orchestral-pathetic, sometimes in good old dark wave tradition, their sound gets enriched also by elements from electropunk, EBM or TripHop!
For the first time Grausame Töchter have included three cover-versions on an album:The "Neue Deutsche Welle"-classics "Goldener Reiter" [Joachim Witt] and "Rosemarie" [Hubert Kah] – but also a cover of one of their own songs: ”Beleidigte Engel” from their first album.
Grausame Töchter stand out as one of the most innovative bands of their genre: Creative,intelligent, and also a ”tiny bit” provocative! - Let the Rausch (intoxication) begin!
Released Late October 2018 by Dark Dimensions.
