Hate us... We love it!
Y
ou return with a new album e n t i t l e d "Karzinom". Does the title of the album say it all? The name of the album means nothing good to us actually... It's our current reality: Nadine was diagnosed with a tumour in her eye, which will be surgically removed in January 2012. That's why the word "Karzinom" is haunting our minds permanently and the album turned into a personal matter. Now you know where the album's name came from... Wouwh! I'm really sorry hearing this... Stay strong Nadine and I'm sure things will turn out fine. I must say that the themes you are dealing with on this new ACYLUM album are not the easiest ones! Rape, abuse, murder. You call it the "ACYLUM way of life"!! Is it pure provocation? Subjects like rape, abuse and

murder are our concern as well. Don't get us wrong, that's not our way of life! We like to bring up topics like these to trigger public discussions. Those topics should neither be overseen, ignored nor covered up. But provocation is definitely our way of life and ACYLUM is proud of that. Your sarcastic sense of humour does not make you the most loved band on the dark elektro scene. How do
you feel towards this a n d y o u r uncompromised attitude? Yo u m i g h t b e surprised, but we are quite crazy and funny people. We know that most people think differently. (laugh) We are pleased to play the part of the "bad guys". No one else can say they're the most hated electro band. We find it funny and we can still laugh about ourselves. People shouldn't take everything dead serious all the time. Most of the fans won't do it either, we think. What does a song like "Deutsch" stand for? We knew that this song will start a big discussion again. Nearly 70 years after the end of World War II there's no need to point at us anymore. In our opinion it's time to stand up and say: we are Germans and proud of it. And NOOOOOOOOOO, we are not fascists. And YESSSSSSSSSS,
