2CD/DVD boxset for new Leaether Strip album

Posted on 27 Feb, 2007

Leaether Strip aka Claus Larsen announces us that his newest album will be released in April. Titled "The Giant Minutes To The Dawn" the release is his most dark album to date. A song that already has gotten more than the usual feedback from the press is "Dirty little secret", a song about child porn. In an interview for Side-Line issue 58 Claus Larsen had this to say about the song: "It’s a little song about the predators who hunts online for sex with underage boys and girls, with promises of fame and fortune. I wrote it as if I were the predator myself. The victims are too ashamed that they fell into that trap, that they keep it a secret. Their dirty little secret. I think its a much bigger problem than everyone thinks. I can’t understand why some parents don’t get more involved in their kids online activities. But I guess I can’t judge when I don’t have any kids. It just pisses me off big time." The release will be available in no less than 3 different formats: a regular 1CD version holding a total of 13 all new songs, a 2CD/DVD boxset including a 10-track bonus-CD plus the first ever Leaether Strip DVD (holding 5 videoclips). Limited boxes of Leaether Strip come with a free "Sounds from the Matrix 005" CD compilation, featuring new songs from 32Crash, Star Industry, I:Scintilla, Crisk., Zombie Girl, Nebula-H, Stray, Ayria, Seize and many more. An album trailer made by Claus Larsen is available on the net via Youtube and various other platforms and holds an insight on the new material.
