Infotext:
If a person has his sword out all the time, he is habitually swinging a naked blade; people will not approach him and he will have no allies. If a sword is always sheathed, it will become rusty, the blade will dull, and people will think as much of its owner.
(Yamamoto Tsunetomo - Hagakure: Book Of The Samurai)
We are already very excited about our next Shaw Cuts showcase at the almighty City Club Augsburg on April the 27th. Lineup: Lazarus, Farron [live] and Lindenberg Support. Save the date, it will be a fun one!
„The Flying Guillotine 2“ is the bloody sequel to Serenace‘s first appearance on Shaw Cuts in 2019, continuing the head-lopping violence with a group of freedom fighters lead by the heroic Ma Teng battling against the evil despot Emperor Yung and his reign of terror. Teng has developed a protective device, similar to a spiky metal umbrella, that allows him to defend against the deadly flying guillotine attacks of the violent regime. „Current“, its bombastic drum patterns, razor-sharp synth waves and vicious vibe strengthens the rebels to resist the brutal assaults. But the Emperor immediately reacts, creating a double flying guillotine to counter Ma Teng’s iron umbrella and the rebel union is left defenseless again. „Aiming From A Distance“, a vivid breakbeat cut combining rolling percussion, arpeggiated synth chords and sirens from hell, raises the rebels' hopes to give them another answer. Secret insurgent Na Lan infiltrates the Emperor’s inner circle by gaining his trust with a group of female warriors whom he allows to train with the flying guillotine palace guards. However, Na Lan only wants to steal the plans of the improved weapon and deliver it to the rebel squad, in order to devise another counteracting force. With the crisp bassline and the energy-filled breaks of „Test 21“, the rebels can gain an insight into the elaborated guillotine and find a possible way to defeat it. Farron‘s profound techno version of „Current“ brings in the necessary tension for the final showdown. The improved double flying guillotine VS a new secret defensive system. Will the rebels be able to team up and defeat the tyrant once and for all? No matter what happens, the saga continues. https://shawcuts.bandcamp.com/album/the-flying-guillotine-2

Farron enters faster territories on this record, telling the story of the hunt after the mysterious jade antique that is hidden in the infamous „House Of Traps“.
After entering the house, one already feels the oppressive atmosphere. The ubiquitous feeling of not being welcome here is obvious when the golden walls invert and you come to face countless swordsmen ready to attack. The vigorous atmosphere of „Penny At The Chain“ boosts up your confidence for what is about to come.
But what if the intruder is skilled in kung-fu? The mob retreats automatically and bars of iron come down to confine you. „Wilshire 1015“ and its driving bassline, warm pads and whirling breaks will calm you down a bit. But what’s next?
In the twinkling of an eye, a field of razor-sharp nails come through the floor that you are standing on, and the escape route up the stairway becomes perilous as the stairs suddenly form into an array of sharp blades. „Hiatus Phase“ keeps you focused and light-footed, so you can manage the jump up to the next floor.
However the next stirring event quickly follows. The moment you feel safe, a giant golden net unexpectedly launches from every direction and traps you in the middle of the room, hung over the floor. As if this wasn’t enough, the mob is rushing back again - armed with bows and arrows. But the varied atmosphere of „All In CST“, its floating pads and filtered breaks energize you, and so you are able to make a getaway from the most lethal attack.
After dodging the giant blades suddenly swinging in from each side, you are finally there. The golden cage and its arcane content. The warmth of
Quiem - The Sentimental Swordsman - Preview
At the beginning of this narration, The Sentimental Swordsman wanders around with no orientation, feels empty and shows his vulnerable side in „Strayed And Aimless“. A solitary life with a focus on himself and his modest requirements.
But just one mysterious encounter can change it all. „You Looked So Pretty On My Balcony“ describes the presentiment of lightness and a gentle breeze received through the presence of the new acquaintance.
The Sentimental Swordsman still feels insecure on his journey, but he is not alone anymore and he can somehow feel a warm and buoyant glow in his breast. „Your Singular Courage“ underlines the good intentions, harmony and trust slowly building up between them.
From now on, fights are taken side by side, individual crises are resolved with the mutual support of each other and risks are taken together. A new team has been formed that seems to be unbeatable. This intimate relationship is presented by the vibe of „My Tiny Engine“.
They are lightheartedly taking steps into an auspicious future together and enjoying each others company. But the enemy doesn’t sleep. It slowly grows. Evil bubbles up, it comes silently and attacks sneakily. „On My Mother’s Birthday“ describes the wounds resulting from a craven ambush that leaves nothing but pain and pure emptiness.
Snatched from this new life. Unwonted silence. Feelings of guilt. Fears of loss. A „Trauma And Its Clutches“.
