Imagine a world without a goth event to forward to every month, a normal tea party sans the eloquence of the Victorian era or even scarcity in finding like minded friends and engage in similar activities. Sounds something that is highly unimaginable or a script off a B-movie film? Unbeknownst to many, the gothic movement is facing an uphill struggle to keep the momentum going and despite the amount of exposure that it has gained over the years, the limelight might very well be the very poison that might just kill off the movement stealthily and we might be the ones to be blamed

(Will the work of our pioneers come undone by a snap of a finger?)

For 10 years East German Dark-Wave-Electro-project Absurd Minds of singer Stefan Grossman have played on national and international stages. Started as a home studio project by Tilo Ladwig and Stefan Grossman, the way of the band rapidly changed in 1999 with their first gig at the scene club "Bunker" in Dresden: They ended up with a label contract on "Scanner" by Frank d'Angelo. Even the first release, the 2000's album "Deception", struck with great force into the heart of the dark scene. Several albums and singles have been released in the following years. Based on their initial success and the progress they had made, they were given a permanent place in the alternative music scene. Stylistically inspired by the electro of the early 90’s Absurd Minds are a successful synthesis of melodic pop, powerful EBM and profound lyrics, that forms a coherent unit unparalleled so far. Owed to that style Absurd Minds now have a very large and enthusiastic global fan base. The album ‚Serve Or Suffer’ – to be released on March 5th – will be the figurehead of the decennial work of Absurd Minds.The success story of the boys from Dresden will continue and a new chapter be opened on March 5th with the new album ‚Serve Or Suffer’. Ten years after Brainwash they did not lose any of their energy or independence. ‚Serve Or Suffer’ surprises with a well-done fusion of melodies, emotional diversity and memorable compositions. Unmistakably Absurd Minds!

Serve Or Suffer’ will be released on March 5th and comes in a limited first edition as Digipak in a lavish Absurd Minds Design
