BEBORN BETON RELEASE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “LAST CHANCE”
DEPENDENT RECORDS
Beborn Beton have just released a new video for their latest single “Last Chance,” offering yet another taste of their long-awaited forthcoming album Darkness Falls Again. That album is slated for release in March on Dependent Records and is available for pre-order on a number of formats including limited edition vinyl, a limited art book compact disc with bonus tracks and through all digital and streaming platforms.
Beborn Beton were founded by vocalist Stefan Netschio, keyboard player and drummer Stefan Tillmann, and keyboard player Michael Wagner in 1989. The trio set out with the declared aim to keep synth pop relevant and give it meaning. Their first signs of life were three self-released works, Pyre (1989), Scythe (1991, and Die Stahlbetontour (1992) that came out on tape.
Following their first two regular albums Tybalt (1993) and Concrete Ground (1994), Beborn Beton found a label-home where they joined renowned acts such as Wolfsheim and DE/VISION. Having conquered home, the three electro-musicians rapidly expanded abroad and the 1996 full-length Nightfall, followed by Truth in 1997, and Fake (1999) gained the Germans strong acclaim by critics and fans around the globe.
PRE-ORDER DARKNESS FALLS AGAIN VIA BANDCAMP
By the time, Rückkehr zum Eisplaneten (‘Return to the Ice-Planet’) was released in 2000, Beborn Beton had firmly positioned themselves as a headlining act within their scene and toured in all the strongholds of electronic music such as Canada and the US, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, Switzerland, Poland, and even Russia among other places. In the North of America, the Germans had scored a veritable club hit with the track “Another World” in 1997. Across the Atlantic, the track’s ever-growing popularity finally led to the exclusive US release of a best-of double-album entitled “Tales from Another World” in 2002, which was followed by extensive touring in North America with Apoptygma Berzerk in the same year.
Yet the heavy touring and the creatively highly demanding output of so many excellent albums in quick succession started to take its toll. After the release of “Tales from Another World” (2002) and the associated touring, Beborn Beton went on an extended hiatus.
It took 13 long years, until Beborn Beton returned to the delight and surprise of their still huge following with a new album on Dependent Recordings. A Worthy Compensation (2015) was showered with accolades from the relevant magazines such as an “album tip of the month” in German Sonic Seducer and Orkus Magazine called the record an “undisputed masterpiece”.
Having learned from previous experiences and not to fall back into a relentless production cycle, Beborn Beton took their time to write another masterpiece. Darkness Falls Again has all the ingredients that make synth pop great. Catchy songs that make the legs twitch, a dash of melancholy, a pinch of irony, and a knife-tip of anger. Music with a meaning, welcome back Beborn Beton!
