BELGRAD • Lysis • LP

Zeitstrafe Records

Seven years have passed since their self-titled debut album (Musikexpress: "The most serious German record of the year.") hit the scene. The band from Hamburg and Berlin took their time and expects the same from their listeners: Lysis is the first double LP released on Zeitstrafe Records—roughly 75 minutes of music for those daring enough to commit in this playlist-driven era.

Those who take the plunge will be rewarded with twelve extraordinary tracks that maintain a constant level of attention and tension. The album is framed by a prologue, narrated by Jürgen Vogel, and an epilogue, creating a seamless yet emotionally devastating journey that leaves you needing to catch your breath by the end.

This is a world far greater than just a collection of songs.

There will be no singles. No promo snippets, teasers, or shout-outs. No build-up. Here it is: Lysis, crafted by Hendrik Rosenkranz, Lev Leopoldowitsch, and Stephan Mahler—a masterful post-punk manifesto to be experienced in its entirety.
