ATROCITY complete long-awaited "Werk 80 II"

Finally, the wait is over! The new ATROCITY album, "Werk 80 II," will be released on February 8th, 2008.

Says vocalist Alex Krull, "On the 8th of February 2008, 'Werk 80 II' is gonna be released. A quite fitting date, as we find! To be serious, we took a lot of time for the production to get the best result. All friends of the first 'Werk 80' will like the second one, too. This time we have worked together with an orchestra and a choir. So the whole album has gained a bit more of a classical touch, which I personally like a lot. Everything sounds very harmonic and organic. The work on this album has been intense and thrilling. On the first 'Werk 80' album we also used classical elements, but we enforced this on the new one. Thus, the electronic parts got moved a little bit into the background. We didn’t want to do the same on this successive album but including new elements and developing our style. I promise you 'Werk 80 II' is gonna be a class of its own, worth waiting for it."

As on the first "Werk 80" release, this follow-up album contains mega hits of the 1980. Pictures from the choir recording sessions you will find here. The cover artwork will be a delicious case, indeed. Alex continues, "This time we got a very special cover model – we couldn’t have chosen any better. The whole artwork is state of the art and dark at the same time. We won’t say more at this moment." In November an online single will be released.
