Oomph! Go English

Oomph! have posted a note on their Facebook page announcing a new Best of album, which will be in English:

English best-of-album "Truth Or Dare“ tracklist and more ...

English best-of-album "Truth Or Dare“ is coming out at the end of February!

To all our fans around the world, we wish you a happy and healthy year 2010!

You can imagine that we´ve certainly not been deedless for the last couple of months, playing pocket pool on the Maldives... Instead we´ve re-recorded 16 killer songs in English for more international success.

Our singing partners were kind enough to visit us once again in our studio and record the vocals in english. Furthermore, we could enlist Sharon den Adel from "Within Temptation" for the english version of „Land in Sicht" ("Land Ahead").

We're looking forward to present you with these 16 songs at the end of February, as the intense work with a befriended native speaker really was worth it. On the one hand, we wanted to stick to the original themes of the songs, without any compromisses regarding pronounciation and metrics; on the other hand, the english version should sound homogen and natural. And we think we managed this balancing act pretty well.

We naturally hope that our foreign fanbase will increase after that release and we expect to be able to perform even more often abroad.

And this is the tracklist:

READY OR NOT (I'M COMING)

BURNING DESIRE

SONG OF DEATH

LABYRINTH

SANDMAN

THE FINAL MATCH

GOD IS A POPSTAR

WAKE UP

LAND AHEAD

SEX IS NOT ENOUGH

CRUCIFIED

THE POWER OF LOVE

TRUE BEAUTY IS SO PAINFUL

THE FIRST TIME ALWAYS HURTS

DREAM HERE (WITH ME)

ON COURSE

Beyond that we have already thousands of new ideas for our eleventh studio album that we hope to be able to release by the end of this year. The album will naturally be followed by a headliner tour across Germany and Europe.

Until then we will perform on various festivals all over Europe in summer, and this week we're shooting the video of our version of „Ernten Was Wir Säen", a successful hit of "Die Fantastischen Vier".

We´re looking forward to rock 2010 with you!!!

It will be interesting to see if this helps them to break through into the English language markets. Thanks to GermanMetal for the heads up.
