about

The acclaimed early works of the folk/acoustic project stroszek have been sold out and unavailable for quite some time, but now in 2013 we are pleased to reintroduce these monumental albums in the form of a special double-album reissue which includes a complete remastering of all the tracks, as well as rerecorded vocals on the “songs of remorse” album. In total, the reissued double-album will include the “songs of remorse”, and “life failures made music” full-lengths, the “the wild hunt” ep, as well as two brand new cover songs making this a must-have for stroszek fans and collectors who missed the original versions as well as for those who want to hear the updated versions of "songs of remorse" with a more apt vocal performance. Originally released between 2007-2009, this reissue, featuring brand new album art and including lyrics and liner notes allows you to embrace the darkness and melancholy of stroszek once more.

failures - disc II
stroszek returns with their second opus, the follow-up to 'songs of remorse', with the aptly titled 'life failures made music'; and with song titles like 'the unlucky ones', 'gone by the fall', and 'land of silence and darkness' its no secret that this album is filled with crushing sadness. Take equal parts Neofolk, the fatalist mentality of Black Metal, the darkness of older Alice in Chains, the beautiful acoustics of latter-day Antimatter and the painfully soft, whispered vocals of Tom Waits and it is easy to see precisely why this crushing sadness is what makes this record so damn special.

lyrics

as I lay me down to die
another cloud pass on by
got a new way to end
just too old and gray, that's what I am
and everything that I can keep
not sure that will resist
the end has came, so strange for me
and I got to face it so alone
the band is playing the last song
is hard to believe I did it all so wrong
the band is playing the last song
as I lay me down to rest
with all the things I left behind
once I travelled this old damn world
but it was a long time ago
and everything that I can't keep
I am sure that won't resist
the end has came, and that's not strange for me
the band is playing the last song
is hard to believe I did it all so wrong
the band is playing the last song
