Release "Rising Tide" by Baltique

Baltique's debut EP "Rising Tide" will be released on Friday, 03 February 2023, via kappelrecords.

The North German alternative rock and metalcore band Baltique with Dominik Simmen as lead singer (DSDS semi-final 2022) release their first studio EP "Rising Tide" together with the new label kappelrecords. On 3 February 2023, the debut EP with 5 songs and concept will be released on all known streaming services. The intro song "12:35" has already been released as a small music lyric video in advance on YouTube. The EP will also be available in the new "Bookage" - format as a fan edition with included music download.

The concept EP deals with the individual fate of a person suffering from depression and other mental disorders and sheds light on them from an unexpected perspective. Inspired by his psychology studies, lyricist and frontman Dominik Simmen describes the concept theme as follows: "Rising Tide begins with a stormy night in which the protagonist writes his farewell letter with the promise to shed light on the reasons for his impending suicide. These turn out to be an interplay of a depressive disposition, the partner's accident and the resulting alcohol addiction. The EP concludes with the protagonist's situation as he writes his acoustic suicide note." In their songs, the band underpins the theme with artistic ambition: "Individual songs flow fluidly into each other through acoustic interludes, creating a lasting atmosphere. Images of the flood breaking over the protagonists find form in the form of text motifs such as rain and drowning as well as in acoustic content. The division of the EP into five songs is also a deliberately chosen and lyrically underpinned parallel to the classical tragedy with its "five acts".

The composition is by the band Baltique, which Dominik Simmen (main vocals and keyboard), Bjarne Voß (guitar and background vocals), Lukas Heyen (bass) and Marius Duwe (drums) worked on together in their rehearsal room in Kiel. The rest of the production was done by Benjamin Knoke and Sabrina Kuhn (co-production). The recording was done by Bjarne Voß (Baltique) and Benjamin Knoke (InLine Audio Studios). The mixing and pre-mastering is by Benjamin Knoke of InLine Audio Studios. Arne Bohnert from Sanddorn Art designed the cover for the EP. The EP will be released via the in-house music label of InLine Audio Studios: kappelrecords.
