От издателя:
BLACK HEAVEN, side project of MANTUS, present for the first time their extensive history on double CD. This collection should not be regarded as a 'best of' in the accepted sense, but a retrospective which makes clear that BLACK HEAVEN have until now been unfairly underestimated.
BLACK HEAVEN are the other side of the coin. This project is not the opposite of MANTUS, but neither is it a sphere in which the musicians 'just want to mess about', as is so often the case with side projects. With the lyrical depth of their material, BLACK HEAVEN are certainly beyond all cliches; from pure dark poetry to the contrasting voices of Martin Schindler and Thalia. In contrast to the main project of the two protagonists, BLACK HEAVEN are more electronically-orientated and dispense with the rock guitars and bombastic classical arrangements without losing themselves in EBM stamping or standard future-pop pap. Instead, what we have here is a convincing attempt to drag intelligent, poetic lyrics out of the self-absorption of the lonely bedroom and onto the dancefloors of the clubs - the perfect mixture of rhythm, delicate sequences, danceable sounds and the lyricism which we already know from MANTUS. Dark vignettes which on the one hand, due to the unusual rhythms have a certain light-heartedness, but which on the other hand have gained emphasis due to the reduction in the musical elements. No MANTUS fan should ignore this "History", for BLACK HEAVEN have musical and lyrical surprises up their sleeves which simply have to be experienced. This retrospective provides the opportunity to do so.
