Heroic individuals bringing the necessary changes never had it easy, when the changes threatened the comfort of the people trying to keep control. These brave people who shook the archaic yet mainstream accepted systems were historically and to present date ostracised, ridiculed, locked away forever and violently disposed of. Emmeline Pankhurst, as seen on the cover, was arrested many times during her campaign to bring equality for women to have the same voting rights as their fellow men. The status quo tried to silence her, lock her up and tell her she was wrong to demand these changes that from our modern perspective seem absolutely normal.
Wunderblock Records is proud to present a debut album by Australian-born, Berlin-based Saxon Jörgensen, also known as Halv Drøm. He burst onto the Berlin's industrial techno scene being released on such labels as Fleisch, X-IMG and Total Black. Now with a studio help from such a significant scene figure like Blush Response, Halv Drøm has recorded this outstanding album as a tribute to all the heroes, who are brave to fight for basic human rights. The album contains seven uncompromised EBM pieces packed in a strong techno jacket, framed with a pair of pounding remixes - by Duellist and Wunderblock.

The demon is hungry. You feed it everything but the clothes covering you. Still it won't be satisfied until you've stripped completely bare. And the moment you do, it wraps its burning arms around you and disappears with you into the dark, leaving only the scent of brimstone. Deferent Golgi
