Nordland
finally rereleased
Time
to travel north again: Apoptose's long out of print first album
"Nordland" is back - even more beautiful than before.
On
its release in the year 2000 Nordland
instantly became a cult record for lovers of orchestral ritualistic
soundsculptures. Like ancient stone circles on barren landscapes the
solemn music reminds of an age when the eternal cycle of growth
and decay
ruled human life.
Finally this ambient classic is available on CD again.
The
album was carefully remastered to ensure that favourite tracks like
"Abschied von der Sonne", "Nordlicht" or
"Nidstang" sound better than ever. The bonus track
"Svartisen" originating from same era as the Nordland
recordings enhances the line-up. So even those who know Nordland for
ages will discover some new facets of this gem.
Additionally
the designers revisited the whole artwork and created something
completely new to compliment the timeless music. The
CD is housed in a multiple-panel fold-out cover featuring a separate
cardboard CD-sleeve.
Tracklist:
Unter
Bewusstsein Abschied
von der Sonne Nordlicht Nidstång Horizont Sturmnacht Erntewôd bonus |
Svartisen (listen to an excerpt of this song)
The
CD is available now
from TESCO
and in the coming weeks from the usual special interest dealers. |

Moving
pictures, please!
You
all know youtube.com,
don’t you? I was positively surprised to find quite a
few videos with Apoptose music there. Some of them are really nice but
most are somehow “minimal”: just one
single still image for the whole running time of the song. Yes, I
know the purpose of these clips but they are boring anyway.
Directing
video-clips isn't exactly my favorite hobby. All video-software that I
tried in the past drove me nuts so I dropped the whole thing for the
sake of keeping my inner peace. But I
am sure there are a lot of talented people out there who know how to do
it. So all the video enthusiasts amongst you are
kindly encouraged to warm up the equipment, choose your favorite
Apoptose
song(s) and direct a video the way you like it. No matter if it is
abstract or
realistic or a cartoon or anything else. It is completely up to you
what you consider
to be adequate for the respective song. There is only one requirement:
moving pictures, please!
There is no deadline, just think about it for some
time and an appropriate idea will
arise sooner or later. Feel free to contact me via
nordland[at]apoptose[dot]net when
you have any more questions. This is not meant to be a competition. Let's just
make youtube a better place. ;-) I
am looking forward to seeing your creative works! I am
going to link the clips to apoptose.net and/or the Apoptose myspace
profile. R.

Apoptose
at the movies
Recently the new movie
from Estland's award winning director Veiko Ồunpuu
premiered in Tallinn. It is called "The Temptation of St.
Tony"
and features a track by Apoptose. The international release of this
movie is scheduled for 2010. Until then you can get an impression and
watch a trailer on the official website here. |
June
2009:
spring/summer
news In
spring we
finished the work on Apoptose's fourth album "BANNWALD". It will be
released later this year via TESCO Organisation. Some
information
on that and in depth talk about the Warrior Creed LP is featured in a
new interview with Apoptose that was recently published by necroweb.de. This interview is in
German language.
We
updated our "Live"-section here with some
pictures of the ApocalypticFolk-Silvester performance in Leipzig.

APOPTOSE
+ JOY OF LIFE
Warrior Creed LP
It took some time but it
was worth waiting: The Joy of Life/Apoptose LP "Warrior Creed" was
released on the day of the Winter Solstice 2008! Mastering was
completed on Summer Solstice so this release is perfectly in tune with
the cosmic cycle. You see, we do everything to enhance your listening
pleasure... The
gatefold cover
became a real beauty. You'll love it! Please check the recently updated
"Artwork" space for a
closer look. You can also listen to some song-previews on the
Apoptose
myspace profile. The
LP is available now
from TESCO
and in the coming weeks from the usual special interest dealers. It is
limited to 600 copies, so don't wait too long!
Some people asked if
"Warrior Creed" would be released on CD as well. Sorry, but at
the moment there are no plans to do that. For more info click on the album cover.

| August
2008: all three albums
on last.fm and elsewhere Most
of you know last.fm - this big web-community/radio. Of course Apoptose
has a profile there, too. Until a couple
of weeks ago it was quite boring but now it improved a lot: There you
find fullength previews of all tracks of all three Apoptose albums! You
can listen to them for free as often as you wish. You can also
access it very easily with the last.fm widget you find here on the
right side. =>
This
was made possible by TESCO's recent "web-offensive". They placed
much of their catalogue in legal download shops and webmusic-portals
worldwide.

2008: Joy
of Life +
Apoptose = LP We
are delighted to
announce that we just finished the work on a joint LP with Gary Carey
of Joy of Life. Two of its features are a new
interpretation of the legendary Joy of Life song "Warrior Creed"
alongside the long out of print original version of this track.
People who saw Apoptose on stage will be happy to hear that the
Fanfarenzug Leipzig, the marching band that provided the impressive
live percussion, is responsible for most of the drumming on this LP.
This limited and vinyl-only item is hopefully ready for
release by Tesco in late summer/autumn. More info soon.

2008: unauthorised
"limited edition" During
the past months several copies of a so called “limited
edition” of the latest Apoptose album
“Schattenmädchen” surfaced in different
online shops. Judging from pictures and descriptions, this item
consists of the original album and an additional CD-R of unknown
contents. This CD-R is in no way part of the original concept and
package of “Schattenmädchen” and does not
contain any music by Apoptose! (read more...)

| March
2008: awards for
Apoptose Grammy,
Oscar, Golden Globe? Who cares? Let's talk about the really important
awards: Apoptose's Schattenmädchen was voted "Best
dark ambient album 2007" by the editors of Stigmata
magazine from Belarus (sharing the top spot with Desiderii
Marginis). And that is not all: Our live show in Wroclaw/Poland last
November was voted in the Top 5 "Best
concerts of 2007" by
the readers of the Beast of Prey magazine.
See yourself: Stigmata
Beast of Prey
Thank
you very much! We hope for the "Lifetime Achievement Award" in 2050...
