Eisbrecher Unveils New Single “Tränen Lügen Nicht” from Upcoming Album Kaltfront
New Single: Tränen Lügen Nicht (Tears Don’t Lie)
Release Date: 7th February 2025
Album: Kaltfront – Out 14th March 2025 via Metropolis Records
Industrial hard rock giants Eisbrecher continue to solidify their place as one of Germany’s most innovative and successful rock acts with the release of their latest single, Tränen Lügen Nicht. This new track serves as a unique and humorous teaser for their upcoming ninth studio album Kaltfront, showcasing the band’s ability to blend bold creativity with deep cultural references.
About Tränen Lügen Nicht
The track is a modern cover of Michael Holm’s 1974 German chart-topping schlager hit of the same name. Originally set to the melody of Soleado by Italian artist Ciro Dammicco, the song was later reimagined as When a Child Is Born and became a global hit, including a popular version by Johnny Mathis that reached the UK’s coveted Christmas no. 1 spot in 1976. Eisbrecher’s version maintains the melodic nostalgia of the original while infusing it with their signature industrial rock style.
Despite being distinct from the album’s core sound, Tränen Lügen Nicht quickly became a fan favorite and was added to Kaltfront’s tracklist due to its overwhelming reception.
Kaltfront and Upcoming Singles
Tränen Lügen Nicht follows the previously released singles Everything Is Wunderbar and Kaltfront, both of which showcase Eisbrecher’s hard-hitting, opinionated style. These tracks set the tone for what promises to be another monumental chapter in the band’s career. Fans can look forward to another single dropping later this month ahead of the full album release on 14th March.
Eisbrecher – Kaltfront Tracklist Highlights:
- Everything Is Wunderbar
- Kaltfront
- Tränen Lügen Nicht
Eisbrecher: 20+ Years of Provocative Rock Excellence
Since forming in 2003, Eisbrecher has built a reputation for tackling social issues head-on with their bold lyrics and powerful industrial hard rock sound. Their relentless approach to addressing societal flaws has garnered them widespread acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase. The band’s two most recent albums, Sturmfahrt (2017) and Liebe macht Monster (2021), both debuted at No. 1 on the German charts. Known for their high-energy live performances, Eisbrecher has become a titanic force on stage, creating seismic tremors wherever they perform.

Faderhead Kicks Off 2025 with Sold-Out Shows, New Music, and Insightful Industry Reflections
As February 2025 unfolds, Faderhead reflects on the start of the year, sharing updates on sold-out performances, upcoming releases, and thought-provoking industry insights. With gym resolutions fading for many, the artist has maintained discipline with a revised workout and meditation routine, emphasizing the importance of consistency and adaptation in both personal and professional pursuits.
Live Shows and Festival Appearances
Faderhead’s recent concert in Oberhausen sold out weeks ahead of the show date, marking another successful performance in the niche electronic music scene. With both Hamburg and Oberhausen shows at full capacity, fans will have one final opportunity to catch a live performance in 2025 at M’era Luna Festival in Hildesheim, Germany.

– April 5, 2025 – Bhf. Pauli, Hamburg, Germany (SOLD OUT)
– August 9-10, 2025 – M’era Luna Festival, Hildesheim, Germany Tickets Available
with special guest: Mechanical Vein
Demo Review and Future Releases
During a recent Patreon live stream, Faderhead hosted a demo review session, analyzing over 60 submitted tracks and engaging the audience in rating them. The results provided valuable insights:
1. Even a single unique sound can elevate an average track.
2. Over 20 demos showed strong potential for inclusion in a 2026 album.
3. The highest-rated demo was an unexpected ballad.
Notably, the reviews varied widely, reaffirming the age-old truth that artistic preference is subjective. The key takeaway? Artists should create music that resonates with them rather than striving to please everyone.
Industry Thoughts: The Reality of Empowerment
A recent industry experience led Faderhead to discuss the concept of empowerment in music. While constructive criticism is often misconstrued, Faderhead emphasized that true empowerment comes from gaining skills, perseverance, and earning opportunities through effort rather than expecting unearned praise.
The discussion extended to hiring practices in the industry, where talent, reliability, and professionalism remain the most critical factors—regardless of gender or background. He further outlined the key traits that ensure success in any profession:
– Be highly skilled.
– Be reliable.
– Be easy to work with.
Looking Ahead
With new music in development and festival appearances lined up, Faderhead continues to push boundaries in electronic music while maintaining a firm stance on authenticity and artistic growth. Fans can expect more engaging content, exclusive Patreon sessions, and live performances throughout the year.

In a recent interview with Jerry Kurunen of Rauta, guitarist Silenoz discussed the creative process behind the new material:
“We’ve been working on new material for quite a while. Even during the pandemic, we were each developing ideas individually before coming together to create something truly unique. We take our time to ensure that every album surpasses expectations, and this one will be no different.”
Although details remain scarce, Silenoz hinted at a return to a heavier, more orchestrated sound reminiscent of Abrahadabra and Eonian.
DIMMU BORGIR: Evolution & Lineup Stability
Over the years, DIMMU BORGIR has evolved from its raw Norwegian black metal roots into a symphonic powerhouse, blending cinematic orchestration with blistering intensity. Speaking on the band’s stylistic changes, Silenoz noted:
“We’ve never confined ourselves to traditional labels. Every album represents growth. Whether it’s the orchestrations of ‘Abrahadabra’ or the atmospheric elements of ‘Eonian,’ our music constantly evolves. The new album will take on its own life.”
Despite various lineup changes, the band’s core remains strong. DIMMU BORGIR’s official lineup is now:
🎤 Shagrath (Stian Tomt Thoresen) – Lead Vocals
🎸 Silenoz (Sven Atle Kopperud) – Rhythm Guitar
🥁 Dariusz “Daray” Brzozowski – Session Drums (since 2008)
🎹 Geir “Gerlioz” Bratland – Session Keyboards (since 2010)
🎸 Victor Brandt – Session Bass (since 2018)
Recent Releases & The Band’s Legacy
DIMMU BORGIR’s last full-length album, Eonian, was released in 2018, coinciding with the band’s 25th anniversary. The album solidified their reputation as one of symphonic metal’s most innovative forces, followed by worldwide tours and festival appearances.
In December 2023, they released Inspiratio Profanus, a collection of cover songs via Nuclear Blast Records. The compilation featured VENOM‘s thunderous “Black Metal”, DEEP PURPLE‘s “Perfect Strangers”, TWISTED SISTER‘s “Burn in Hell”, and classic renditions of CELTIC FROST, among others.
During the Inferno Festival, former band members ICS Vortex, Mustis, and Tjodalv rejoined DIMMU BORGIR on stage to perform “The Insight And The Catharsis” from their 1999 album Spiritual Black Dimensions, marking a nostalgic moment for longtime fans.

About MORLOCKS
Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the early ’90s by J. Strauss, MORLOCKS has evolved from a guitar-driven electronic rock sound into a grand industrial symphonic powerhouse. The addition of Innocentius Rabiatus (Andreas Wandegren of Dark Side Cowboys) in 2003 saw the group lean into heavier industrial rock influences, culminating in their celebrated 2011 album The Outlaw of Fives.
Notable collaborations include working with KMFDM’s Sascha Konietzko, dark ambient electro artist Karin My, and black metal vocalist Heljarmadr (Grá/Dark Funeral). Their most recent full-length release, Praise The Iconoclast, was hailed as a masterpiece in the industrial and darkwave scene.

Michael Plaster (soulwhirlingsomewhere) Returns with yttriphie: an extremely slow motion explosion
Michael Plaster, known for his work with the legendary 90s Projekt ethereal act soulwhirlingsomewhere, returns to Projekt with a mesmerizing ambient release under the moniker yttriphie. an extremely slow motion explosion marks Michael’s debut in the ambient genre, merging tranquility and complexity for a uniquely immersive experience.
The album is set to release digitally on January 24, 2025 via Projekt Records and offers a vaporous journey into atmospheric crescendos and dreamlike melodies.
About the Album
Michael describes the album as “mellow and muted,” with long waves of atmospheric crescendos that sometimes fall to near silence while at other times carve clear, intricate paths. Feathery synthesized patches blend seamlessly with crystalline piano, creating a soundscape that is dreamy, isolated, and filled with longing.
Michael reflects:
“I want the experience of listening to the music to be like going into a tranquil, flowing river. Muted enough to take you along effortlessly, but complex enough to swallow you in its melodies—like little shrouded stories being slowly woven together.”
The album title explores the concept of entropy and the idea that everything in existence is an explosion of energy trying to dissipate, from the Big Bang to the smallest particles in our bodies.
