DARKSEED Vocalist Launches New Project

September 13, 2005

Vocalist Stefan Hertrich (DARKSEED, BETRAY MY SECRETS, SHIVA IN EXILE) has launched a new project dubbed SPI-RITUAL. The group will record its debut mini-CD in late September. Entitled "Pulse", the disc will include five tracks (with a total running time of approximately28 minutes) and will feature several guest musicians, including Yana Veva of THEODOR BASTARD, Gaby Koss (ex-HAGGARD),Dr. Christian Raetsch (Germany's leading ethnopharmacology book author) and Kajuyali Tsamani (director of the Foundation of Shamanic Investigations in Columbia).

After his award-winning soundtrack/world album, "Ethnic", (SHIVA IN EXILE, 2004),Hertrich is attempting once again to combine ethnic elements with metal like in his project BETRAY MY SECRETS (1999). "Pulse" will be released by Hertrich's new label, Listen&Think Publishing, and will also be licensed to Russia, where it will be made available in a special edition, including a multimedia section with a dark ethnic background bonus track and a possible video clip (not 100 percent confirmed).

"This CD won?t be a religious or ideologic guide for metal fans and it doesn?t represent any religions or ideologies in any way," Hertrich told Russian Darkside. "It might be an offer for metal fans who are interested in different ways of understanding the aesthetics of arts from distant cultures, embedded in our familiar metal construct. I think this album could provoke even more, maybe a sensibility for things that are not taught in school or TV, but this is completely up to the listener. The main goal of this CD simply is to be enjoyed — with the option to provoke more than that."

The German release is scheduled for November. An official Russian release date has not yet been announced.
