‘Weapons Of Mass Seduction’ arrived at the very end of 2023, concluding what was a very special year for the German outfit, as they hit Number 1 on the German charts, represented their country at Eurovision and supported Iron Maiden.

Among the new album, there’s a reworking of Bishop Briggs’ ‘River’, The Pretty Reckless’ ‘House On A Hill’ and Judas Priest’s ‘Turbo Lover’. 

And that’s just the start, as the LP also gives fresh rock approaches to Sia’s ‘Unstoppable’, Michael Jackson’s ‘Give In To Me’, Billy Idol’s ‘Shock To The System’ and even Lou Reed’s ‘Perfect Day’.

Speaking about their latest project, the band have explained how it came about during the processing of creating their eighth studio album, ‘Blood & Glitter’, saying:

“During the production of our last album, Blood & Glitter, while recording our Roxette cover ‘The Look’ in Finland, it had already become clear that we had opened Pandora’s box. The energy and fun of covering the songs of beloved and respected colleagues and idols was something we were determined to continue. 

“So even before the release of Blood & Glitter we started working on this ‘covers album’ project, which for us is the perfect dessert to Blood & Glitter, before we embark on the adventure of reinventing ourselves again for a new studio album.”

‘Weapons Of Mass Seduction’ arrives in a number of formats, including a 3 CD box set, a number of vinyl options and a pink-with-black-print cassette.
