With „Glamour & Gloom“ the band has sculpted their own distinctive sound that will from now on be recognized as TENSIDE. Hundreds of live shows in boiling underground clubs as well as the biggest Metal Festivals in Europe and Asia have of course added to this. Along with the strongest lineup in the 15 years history of the band TENSIDE’s thundering live sound has for the first time been faithfully captured in the studio. This can also be accredited to producer Christoph von Freydorf (Emil Bulls). “We started working on new songs in October 2018 and in January 2019 we moved the pre-production into a remote cottage close to Saarbrücken where we were able to work on the album without any distractions. Of course there was still some work to do after that and we worked relentlessly on the tracks in the band’s own studio until everyone was fully satisfied.“ Every single song on this album shows just what a slick team TENSIDE has become.

These are erratic songs of rage, songs to invoke the primal fear within you, songs that will seduce your dark passenger, causing you to dance alongside us. These are lyrical themes of angst and anguish, brought forth from the bleak lives that each and every single human leads, presented in cacophonous voice. These are the Words of Tenebris. They watch over all of us, and We are the mouth through which it speaks, the hands that will guide you through their world. Endure the embrace of a timeless wasteland. We are Monasteries.
