Supernova

And like it should be with any effective sequel, the likable gang of lads have cranked everything up to 11 on their second outing. Supernova is a harder, darker, more menacing and a great deal more mature version of Erdling: a hit-monster comprised of anthem melodies, yet in a constant wrestling match with laconic German-language lyrics, a juggernaut of precise guitar riffing and a thudding machine of rhythm and electronics. This Supernova of Metal, Neue Deutsche Hrte and Dark Rock is a highly combustible evolution of the themes of the first album, with eyes firmly set on new frontiers. The album will also be released as a deluxe double CD-version containing an exclusive bonus disc with remixes, alternative versions and re-interpretations of the new songs by the likes of Marc Grtz from Caliban, To The Rats And Wolves, Heldmaschine, Andy Brings (ex-Sodom, Double Crush Syndrome) and Calibre Infinite. In time for the album-release, Erdling will also be taking their new songs on the road, touring Germany as support of Hmatom... and, say what you will: this mix just rocks, little bouts of megalomania included. Out of the way, here's the Absolutus Rex! We are Erdling. We have come to conquer!
