\u201dSongs for the gothic people\u201d is the new album from the Swedish gothic\/rock\/metal band SCHEITAN. The album marks the return of the band who has been silent since it\u2019s year 2000 performance at the classic Wave Gotik Treffen festival in Leipzig, Germany. The new album is released on both CD and vinyl (LP) by greek label The Circle Music. Co-inciding with the album release is also the release of the video for “The last time”, the opening track of the album.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guitarplayer, multiinstrumentalist & vocalist Pierre T\u00f6rnkvist comments on the new release.
– After releasing \u201cNemesis\u201d on Century Media in 1999 and then playing WGT in 2000 we wrote new music for Scheitan but felt it was going in the wrong direction, thus Helltrain was formed instead and Scheitan went into a long period of hiatus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– Scheitan in 2024 is of course not the same as Scheitan in 1999 but these new songs I wrote felt like they sounded like a perfect contiunation of the project, so the more I thought about it the more natural it felt to bring it back to life instead of doing something completely new. Musically it\u2019s close to where we left off, and the vocals are now they way I would have wanted them to be already on \u201cNemesis\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– We are now back for real. We already have shows booked in Athens and in our hometown Lule\u00e5, and we will look for some more opportunities to play live. I will also start writing on the next album as soon as possible, there is no stopping me now. So hopefully we can have another album out in the spring of 2025 and play live even more during that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– We did yet another video for the opening track “The Last Time”, nothing fancy, just some black-and-white footage together with me doing the vocals. I think it turned out decent, we are still very much a DIY band, working closely together with The Circle Music where both parts take responsibility in pushing things forward. So it’s not a million-dollar budget production, but I love underground stuff, and so does our label.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

June 15th, @Temple, Athens, Greece
August 24th, @Vit\u00e5 Rockfest, Lule\u00e5, Sweden<\/p>\n\n\n\n
