As I’ve been extremely busy recently, I’m very behind on CD reviews. Instead, I thought I’d write a feature & hopefully the review of the new album won’t be too long after.
All:My:Faults are a German alternative/industrial band. They were founded in 2003 by Steve Kiai soon after he left his alternative band, where he sang & played bass. Two years later, after writing his own music, performing in clubs & waiting for the right live musicians to come along, he met Jonas Iscariot who was willing to play a major role in the band.
It is interesting the way the band release music (& they’ve been doing it long before Radiohead & Oasis tried their hand at it). All releases by the band are free under the Creative Commons License & are stored on free publishing websites such as Archive.org.
Their new release will become public in full on 23rd November (it has been “leaked” gradually over the course of the last month on Last.FM) or it will be available to purchase on iTunes one week later. People can buy the release online, download for free or donate some money for it. They’ve released music this way since their first release ‘Secrets’ in 2006. If 100 or more people buy the whole album they will then release a physical CD as a Digipak in 2008 and all downloaders & supporters of the band can get the CD for the shipment price only.
You can download their back catalogue online for free (or purchase them/donate money):
Secrets (2006) – download or buy from iTunes
The Anger Manifest EP (2005/2007) – download
There are also the “leaked” free tracks from the upcoming album ‘neo.NøiR’ on their Last.FM page. I like the new album quite a lot & think it’s definitely worth checking this band out if you’re into alternative/industrial/darkwave.
I will post the link to the full new album on the 23rd.

Comment by ayouthofvalour November 11, 2007 @ 1:47 amHey thanks for this review. Well we must change the releasdate and the album is now ready on 25 January 2008. Here the latest news about that:
“We are very sorry we inform you that late about what happened in the last weeks, but as you will see, it wasn’t really possible for us to react in any way online.
Well, finally we were in the end-produce of our album as two of our pc’s crashed down and so we lost a lot of time and even a lot of our dates. Yes, sad but true.
Now we can say we’re back on the net, back on our pcs and we we can release the album on 01-25-2008.
And another good news for us – we’re on the electro/darkwave/industrial part of the Carbon Drum Compilation Vol.1 with our track ‘GHGA’ from the upcoming album ‘neo.NøiR’ Just visit http://www.carbondrumcompilation2007.com/ for further information and order your copy today.
And don’t forget to put us as the refferer if you decide to purchase the compilation ;)
thanks for your support
