There are just a few short days until the bells of Christmas ring, but successful German punk rockers SERUM 114 have already unveiled a special early gift! The band surprised fans with a new EP, Zuhause Unplugged, out today, December 16 via Napalm Records.
 
Marking the band’s first acoustic release ever, ten unfiltered honest songs are painted in a new light and take fans through their previous top-charting discography. Uniting all these memories into one song, the emotional track “Zeit Steh Still” is the best start to jump right into their journey. The voice of the band, Esche, sings with such a raw and warm voice, only the touching official music video even gets close to it.

Today, German band SERUM 114 surprised fans with their first acoustic release ever! Zuhause Unplugged marks a trip down memory lane – taking fans through their very successful and chart-storming career, the musicians carefully selected songs on stage to give them their own, personal spotlight. Especially because of charismatic singer and frontman Esche, known for his raspy and fast-paced vocals, the unexpected variety of soulful vocal performances give the songs of SERUM 114 an incredible warm and cozy light. The brand-new EP, Zuhause Unplugged, promises a select collection of the band’s top tracks, consisting of picks from the most popular albums in their entire band history – including Deine Stimme / Dein Gesicht (2012), Die Nacht mein Freund (2016), Kopfüber ins Nichts (2014), Serum 114 (2008) and Im Zeichen der Zeit (2020).

Just in time for the upcoming release of their new album, Im Zeichen der Zeit (out  September 18 via Napalm Records), German rock group SERUM 114 proves that their heart still beats for pure, dirty punk rock! Their fourth single, “Meine Band” (engl. my band), showcases SERUM 114’s pure intention for brash lyrics and catchy riffs, underlined by Eche’s scratchy vocals. The accompanying official lyric video opens a box of memories and features some shots of their explosive and captivating live shows, which can be experienced again at their release concert in Gelsenkirchen (GER) today.

With a light-footed, tongue-in-cheek attitude, SERUM 114 takes a closer look at the music business, underlines that they are not taking themselves too seriously, and demonstrates that they have not lost their sense of humor throughout their years. 

Following their chart-topping full-length Die Nacht Mein Freund (engl. “the night is my friend”) (GER #3), the new album includes 14 energetic tracks, careening towards a rock break-out. With their new offering, they double down on their musical power and present themselves stronger than ever before: lyrically, musically and stylistically!

Pre-Order the new album Im Zeichen der Zeit HERE

The new album, Im Zeichen der Zeit, presents 14 energetic modern rock tracks: In an honest and authentic punk rock manner, “Freiheit” (engl. “freedom”) invites the listener to reflect on moments filled with happiness, to center themselves and find balance within, even if it’s just for a short amount of time. The mid-tempo anthem “Abgefucktes Leben” (engl. “fucked up life”) is driven by its unmistakably catchy chorus and dedicated to the simplicity of daily life. Esche’s rough vocals classify the band’s unique trademark, whilst pushing their songs, such as “Meine Band” (engl. “my band”), to a highly energetic level.

Despite wearing their punk rock attitude on their sleeves, SERUM 114 is also capable of slowing down: “Wir scheitern voran” (engl. “we fail”) is a powerful ballad of failure and unveils an unusually calm side of the band.
