About this product
Madness reigns where ST. MICHAEL FRONT tread The duo from Hamburg, Germany does not give a damn either about artistic boundaries or musical taboos, but happily combines chanson and Schlager, neofolk, pop, and soundtrack with audible relish. On their sophomore album entitled InchSchuld & SühneInch (InchCrime & PunishmentInch), which for the first time is written entirely in their mother-tongue, the two Northern Germans alchemically distil campfire romance, wanderlust, greed and love, melancholy, a thirst for revenge, and apocalyptic anger into pure gold. ST. MICHAEL FRONT got off to a flying start with their first album, 'End of Ahriman', even though the duo never stuck to any InchrulesInch. Having grown out of many years of friendship and studying at the same art academy gave the two musicians the confidence to ignore music industry's templates. The result catapulted their song 'Once' to the top of the charts of German station RADIOEINS for 6 long weeks and put the duo into the focus of a wide range of media outlets from newspapers to podcasts. ST. MICHAEL FRONT have characterised 'End of Ahriman' as a mix of dark folk, OLIVER ONIONS, THE WHO, and RICHARD WAGNER. Their jaw-dropping sound experiments on the debut full-length were accompanied by tongue-in-cheek English language lyrics. Their preoccupation with esoteric themes that they ironically deconstructed sure hit the zeitgeist. In the meantime, the Hamburgians have decided to switch to their mother tongue in order to write even deeper and more intricate and multi-layered lyrics that dissect the everyday madness of a world gone increasingly crazy with sharp precision. With InchSchuld & SühneInch, ST. MICHAEL FRONT unleash a personal soundtrack to society's mental apocalypse of today. Sometimes acidic, sometimes wonderfully schmaltzy, but always straight to the point, this album will find it's way - wherever it wil

Charlemagne Palestine's newest record pairs two energetic works for carillon bells. On side A, a new piece recorded at his studio in Belgium-a high-ceiling, stuffed animal paradise he calls Charleworld-among friends and divinities. On the flip side, Blank Forms Editions' very first and long out-of-print appears on vinyl for the first time a cathartic street recording of his 2018 musical eulogy for his late friend Tony Conrad, performed on the bells of St. Thomas Episcopal Church where the two first met. Two mesmerizing InchklanggdedangggebanngggInch sessions in the Quasimodo of 53rd Street's unmistakable improvisatory style.

2CD hardcover artbook (18x18 cm, 72 pages) with 10-track bonus CD, lyrics and a multitude of band photos and artwork. Parallel to the of their new album InchSchuld & SühneInch, Hamburg based duo ST. MICHAEL FRONT reissue their trailblazing debut in an ultimate collector's edition InchThe Beginning & the End of AhrimanInch will be published as a 72-page hardcover artbook with numerous photographs, artwork, and all lyrics. In addition to the regular CD containing the full album InchEnd of AhrimanInch from 2018, the book comes with a second CD featuring two exclusive versions of songs from the InchIn the Wake of a New DreamInch EP (2016) and eight previously unreleased tracks - the song 'Sad King', five instrumentals, and two remixes. ST. MICHAEL FRONT have enjoyed a lightning start in their native Germany. The two former art students, Bruder Matthias and Bruder Sascha probably did not expect such an overwhelming reception for their debut full-length that happily combined Honolulu-Schlager, dark pop, and neofolk to a firework of catchy tunes and cunning, tongue-in-cheek esoteric lyrics. InchEnd of AhrimanInch stormed the charts of German station RADIOEINS Charts with the song 'Once' and remained in the pole position for six weeks. Invitations to prestigious cult festivals such as Wave Gotik Treffen in Leipzig and House of the Holy in Austria's mountains followed suit as well as glowing reviews and attention in German mainstream media. InchThe Beginning & the End of AhrimanInch now offers the excellent opportunity to rediscover the early English-language phase of ST. MICHAEL FRONT in it's entirety via this beautiful deluxe edition!
Formed in 1999 as the solo project of Simone H. Salvatori, Spiritual Front dubs it's sound Inchcatchy ballads for heartbreaker nihilist youthInch; it's Morricone-inspired neofolk channels art rock, tango, new wave and country influences through a modern lens. Spiritual Front's unique musical identity is a reflection of Salvatori's savoir-faire which sees the frontman as a sort of Machiavellian playboy, merging Las Vegas-esque pomp and stomp with a surly suggestiveness, lending the band's sound a hedonistic flair. The lyrical themes shared by Salvatori deal with issues such as searching for self-identity, sexuality, harsh realities and angry break-ups, each tinted with sarcasm, nihilism and biting humor. In it's time as a band, Spiritual Front has contributed to the soundtracks of the TV series InchLas VegasInch and the motion picture InchSaw 2Inch as well as independent films, theatre productions and modern ballets.
