Early Singles (1981-1982): Vinyl LP

In the pre - goth era, Xmal Deutschland, a bold all - female band from Hamburg, embraced the DIY punk spirit. In 1981, they released the 'Schwarze Welt' 7 - inch on the local ZickZack label. Its repetitive dirge is full of urgency, and the b - side tracks 'Die Wolken' and 'Großstadtindianer' with their crude synthesizer noises build tension. Anja Huwe's venomous German vocals became a highlight of the emerging glamorous gloom scene. In 1982, the 'Incubus Succubus' single was a post - punk classic. The buzzing guitar and Huwe's ghoulish voice create a nightmarish atmosphere. The b - sides 'Zu Jung Zu Alt' and 'Blut Ist Liebe' have strict militaristic dance beats. That year, the band's London performance as support for the Cocteau Twins was a springboard. 'Early Singles (1981 - 1982)' is a must - have for fans, mapping the band's early steps. Bonus tracks 'Kaellbermarsch' and a gritty live 'Allein' blend toughness with synth decadence, reflecting the punk - inspired era of accessible music - making. TRACKLIST: 1. Schwarze Welt 2.
