Whether the end of the world is as nigh, as some prophets of doom predict, or otherwise, there can be little doubt that we are living in tempestuous times. Art has a tendency to reflect its environment – therefore in the aftermath of the 'Occupy' protests, continued rioting across Europe, the ongoing 'Arab Spring' and the sabre-rattling across the Straits of Hormuz, it should come perhaps as no surprise that DETROIT DIESEL have chosen "Coup d'Etat" as the title of their new album.
Within the space of just one year, the Canadian harsh EBM duo's debut album "Terre Humaine" has already established them as one of the key threats to the current leaders of the dark electro scene. Now, with DETROIT DIESEL heading over to Europe in April for their first ever "Club DeTour" (taking in Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Russia, Greece and the UK) it is time for a regime change – in the shape of an all-new album! For mixing and mastering, this time they turned to Kolja Trelle of SOMAN, who brings a rich resonance to the bass end of these club-friendly cuts.
