SCHEITAN have just released their fifth album and this is the press release from their label, The Circle Music.
“It may have taken “only” twenty-five years for SCHEITAN’s fourth album, “Songs for the Gothic People”, to arrive after their third, yet their return was so strikingly powerful that the follow-up, their fifth offering, “Wine for a Tormented Soul”, came without delay, like a storm that refused to be held back.
We won’t say too much about this new record for two good reasons. First, three singles have already been released as videos, and by now, you’ve likely formed your own impressions of the new material.
Second, “Wine for a Tormented Soul” has become the unofficial (and unwavering) soundtrack to our days here at The Circle offices. For the past two months, it has echoed through our space daily, seeping into our bones. We were simply waiting for the right moment to announce the release date and that moment is now. What remains is the aching anticipation of holding this black masterpiece in our hands.
Musically, SCHEITAN remain faithful to the Gothic Rock path they paved with “Songs for the Gothic People”. The compositions here continue to battle one another for dominance, each track vying to be the one that leaves the deepest mark. The production is once again crystalline and forceful, but this time, it’s Pierre Törnkvist’s vocals that show remarkable evolution.”
Pierre Törnkvist comment:
I am very much looking forward to presenting the new Scheitan album to the audience. The title “Wine For a Tormented Soul” comes from what music can mean to people that run into hardship in life.
Music is my therapy, it is my best friend in dark times. The last 10 years have been a bumpy road with one of my best friends passing away too early as well as my father leaving us from one day to another.
Some of the songs have been presented to people as singles, now you can hear them in the context of an album, and also listen to them in a non-digital format such as vinyl which I think is the best way to do it. We will try to come out and play these new songs for you as much as we can.
