About Black Rain [Black Snow Xmas comp coming soon]
CD - Various Artists "Black Snow - the completely different Xmas compilation"
DCD - Various Artists "Help can't wait - the great charity compilation"
Black Rain Rec./Ars Musica Diffundère is home of famous acts such as Feindflug, Vigilante, Rise and Fall of a Decade, Tyske Ludder, Brillig, Lamia, Novalis deux, Narsilion, Jabberwock, Dandelion Wine, Cyborg Attack, Dexy Corp, Der Blaue Reiter, Jesus and the Gurus, Kutna Hora, The Pussybats, Atomic Neon, Predella Avant and more...
Gerald, the founder of the label group, has been part of the so called gothic scene since 1988, and from 1994 on he did some management for several bands and organised two festivals. From 1997 - 1999 he was editor of the fanzine Rebell!! and did some DJ jobs. Since Gerald had been unsatisfied with the local alternative music scene, he founded BLACK RAIN RECORDS in 1998/99. He does not consider this label as a pure production plant but as a platform for artists who are worth it to be published for an interested audience. In contrast to other labels it is not our aim to set up contracts in order to restrict and limit the artists creative freedom to a minimum.
In the year 2000, our sub-label NOITEKK was founded. It is directed by our friend Marco and is home of great acts like Tactical Sekt, Dawn of Ashes, FGFC820, Distorted Memory, Aslan Faction and many more. In 2001, ARS MUSICA DIFFUNDERE was founded, being home for bands like Novalis deux, Kutna Hora, Narsilion, Predella Avant and more. FUNKWELTEN, our label for experimental and chill-out sounds was raised in 2003. Here you can find acts like Flint Glass, Oil 10, OTX, For a Space, Polyspace and more. By beginning of the year 2008, we reintegrated our label FIREZONE RECORDS, founded in 2004. Being the home of great bands like Onyx Eyes, Prospective and Die Perlen, it is going to present another facette of alternative music.
In June 2008, our label group consolidated with the mailorder "Emmo.biz" of our long term friend Jörg. Jörg has been a fan of electronic music since the late 80s and founded "Emmo.biz" in 2002, which became known as a mailorder for all kinds of alternative music and concert organiser. Being a part of the new "Black Rain media group GmbH", "Emmo.biz" will be expanded to a great label mailorder.
We definitely only release music for quality and cultural reasons and we do not care about any political or religious matters. This results in the fact that we only distribute bands and projects of which musical quality we are really convinced of. We always have worked with newcomers, because for us it does not matter if a band is famous or not. And this will not change in the future. Our slogan: quality not quantity. With this slogan we cover the whole variety of DarkWave, Industrial, Electro, NeoFolk, NeoClassic, Experimental, Ambient and Gothic.
The name Black Rain is not to be seen as the use of the two words "black" and "rain" in a trivial sense but more as a metaphor. A black and strange rain, which pierces through everything and everyone, and nobody can escape its influences...

If you have followed the band's recent history, you know that we have had some problems with the release of this CD. We have invested a great deal of work and time on it, and we grew tired of endlessly waiting for others to validate it's release date. Since we recently broke the contract with Rebco Records UK, we decided to release the CD in digital form, for all fans that have asked for it for so long.
So here it is. It's with great satisfaction that we can finally present you with the album we've worked so hard on. It's Anxiety Disorder, as you've grown to know it, and mastered by the great Racso Agroyam (Hocico, Dulce Liquido).

You can buy each track individualy, or buy the CD as a whole. If you buy the whole CD you get a bonus track (remix by the awesome Arsch Dolls) and print quality artwork for the CD.
There. For those who really want a physical release, well, who knows... But still, for now, this is the album.
