NEW ALBUM – (P)URGE OUT NOW!!!

WITH HEAVY BEATS, EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONIC SOUNDSCAPES AND SARCASTIC LYRICS BERLIN-BASED PRODUCER GRUME IS TAKING A NEW APPROACH ON TRADITIONAL EBM MUSIC WITH A GENRE BENDING CONCEPT AND AN EASTERN-EUROPEAN TWIST. HIS COMPOSITIONS ARE MIXING ELECTRONIC, POP/ROCK AND NOISE ELEMENTS TOGETHER, WHILE THE MELODIES ARE INSPIRED BY THE TRADITIONAL MELANCHOLIC FOLK SONGS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPE. WITH DARING LYRICS HE IS HONESTLY EXPLORING SENSITIVE TOPICS AND UNDERLYING ISSUES.

HIS FIRST EP – TRAUM(A), WHICH CAME OUT IN 2021 WAS INSPIRED BY THE BERLIN INDUSTRIAL TECHNO AND EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRO SCENE. IT DELVES INTO THE RAW REALITIES OF PERSONAL AND COLLECTIVE TRAUMA, OFFERING AN HONEST REFLECTION ON MODERN LIFE AND IDENTITY.

AFTER A LONGER HIATUS HE STARTED TO RELEASE NEW SINGLES – LUST IN NOVEMBER 2024, FOLLOWED BY MELTDOWN, DAY AND WONDERLAND. HIS LATEST ALBUM – (P)URGE WAS RELEASED IN MAY 2025.

(P)URGE IS A SOMETIMES UNSETTLING, YET SOOTHING AND IMMERSIVE COLLECTION OF TRACKS THAT TELL A STORY OF BROKEN REALITIES THROUGH EXPERIMENTAL ELECTRONICA, DARKWAVE SYNTHS, GLITCHY SOUNDSCAPES AND EASTERN EUROPEAN INFLUENCES.

HIS ECLECTIC STYLE AND DARK COMPOSITIONS ARE INFLUENCED BY PJ HARVEY, BJÖRK, DEPECHE MODE, LEBANON HANOVER, BOY HARSHER, GARBAGE AND NAPOLEON BOULEVARD.
