NEW YORK CITY'S DJ REXX ARKANA TEAMS WITH TOP SCENE BANDS TO RELEASE
DEBUT BRUDERSCHAFT PROJECT: In what music industry insiders are
already calling "the biggest industrial supergroup since Pigface"
and "frontrunner for single of the year," New York City's DJ REXX
ARKANA has teamed up with members of the dark electronic music
scene's biggest acts to release his debut original music project,
BRUDERSCHAFT. With a name most befitting the immensity of the
project, BRUDERSCHAFT ("brotherhood") features REXX ARKANA (lyrics),
SEBASTIAN KOMOR of ICON OF COIL (music), RONAN HARRIS of VNV NATION
(lead vocals), STEPHAN GROTH of APOPTYGMA BERZERK (backing vocals)
and JOAKIM MONTELIUS of COVENANT (loops). The first single from the
band, "Forever," is a tribute to Arkana's father, whose death from
cancer in 1999 was the inspiration for the song's emotionally
powerful lyrics. "After my father passed away, I wrote the song in
his name," Arkana informs. "I sent the lyrics to Ronan, who
immediately offered his involvement in the project and the idea of
BRUDERSCHAFT was born." Over the course of the next three years, the
remaining members of BRUDERSCHAFT came together, each contributing
their unique talent to the project. The end result is the "Forever"
EP, already the most anticipated release of the coming year. In
keeping with the song's original intent, all net profits from the
sales of "Forever" will benefit cancer research and treatment. Look
for the EP to be released on RazorBurn Records in 2003. For
