A new DWM full length album has been released on CD-R by Attenuation Circuit, a fine label from Augsburg, Germany. Recorded in the 1990s at the first DWM practice room, it is a sort of mix between ambient electronic music and world music. It features a very nice full color cover printed on rice paper and inserted into a special box.
Also out on Attenuation Circut is one of their newest label samplers. Impedance features a new DWM recording with our new "live" lineup, and is exclusive to this release.
We are very happy to announce the next exhibition of artworks by Joseph B. Raimond. It will take place at the Gallery KO21 in Paris, and will open on June 7th. Exhibited will be some of the best of the small Daily Plop pictures from the last few years, as well as a few newer works that haven't been exhibited before.

After a lot of work, we finally have all the pages finished for the various DWM releases as listed on our discography and releases pages. Each entry consists of extensive information about each release, release date, personel and cover art.

It is going to be a busy year. Right on the heels of "Laughing At Nudity", and the first of several releases in 2012, comes "Eat Your Art Out", part two in the Western Haiku series. Out now.
Also coming soon is "Mask", the first DWM release on the fine Attenuation Circuit label our of Augsburg. Recorded almost twenty years ago, it will feature fine cover artwork and packaging, for which AC is well known for.

Out now is "Laughing At Nudity", the first book in a planned series of small pocket books written by Joseph B. Raimond devoted to what many refer to as "Western Haiku". Different than the traditional Japanese Haiku, which feature three lines each and a specific number of syllables per line, Western Haiku can have a free amount of syllables per line, but still keep the format of three line poetry. As most of the books are already written, look for more to be released soon.
It took a lot of work and research, but we finally have our page devoted to the many cassettes released on eMpTy and Masking Tapes online.
Joseph B. Raimond will again be showing some of his newest graphic works at the traditional December group show at the Galeriehaus Nord in Nuernberg. This time they will be pages from his current book project "Broken", which feature his stark black and white pen and ink drawings together with writings and poetry. Check it out.

"Do Quermi Ran" is now out, so write for your copy before they are gone! Already working hard on the next release, working title "Gosia", probably out early 2012.
Two new Joseph B. Raimond book projects due soon. Both feature what he refers to as "Western Haiku", which, like the traditional Japanese Haiku poetry, feature only three lines. However, Western Haiku are not limited to a set amount of sylables. Both books, titled "Laughing At Nudity" and "Eat Your Art Out", include roughly 300 pieces, and are the first in a series of books featuring Western Haiku by Joseph B. Raimond.

A bit of good news for once. Two new DWM CD releases will be out very soon on our MissmanagemenT label, our label devoted to free CDs. The first is "Retch", a collection of assorted tracks recorded over the years slated for various projects that for one reason or another never came out, and featuring guitar by Michael Schultz Pernice, who, as reported below, died earlier this year. Release date is August 22nd, 2011.
The second release, which will be out about four weeks later, is "Do Quermi Ran", a collection of new tracks recorded in the first half of 2011. Featuring new members Alex Kammerer and Stefan Schweiger, they are joined by long time DWM members Ralf Lexis and Joseph B. Raimond. More of a real "band" than DWM has ever been, this release features ten blistering rock instrumental tracks. And going with the flow of inspiration that this lineup is experiencing, the follow up CD is also about half recorded at the time of this writing. We hope to add Adrian Gormley on sax and other wind instruments to this lineup next year when he moves to Germany. There is even a bit of talk about a concert or two.

Unfortunately, we have to announce the death of yet another DWM member. Michael Schultz-Pernice died on April 4th, 2011 after a long illness. Besides playing some of the most blistering guitar solos ever to be heard on a DWM record, he also played guitar for years in Prime Sinister. He was one of the best guitarists ever to come out of the Nuernberg music scene, and will be missed by his many friends and family.

It is with great sadness that we have to report the death of Zoogz Rift on March 22, 2011, aged 57. His death was due to serious complications from diabetes which he had been battling for well over a decade. In the early 1990s Musical Tragedies released several albums by Zoogz, and he also guested on guitar on a few DWM tracks.

DWM wishes everyone a happy and healthy new year. We also wish our buddy and long-time member Bernard H. Worrick, a very happy birthday today out there in Florida.
We have finished and put online a few more pages devoted to our releases. This time, check out our vinyl singles on MT Undertainment, and CDs on Musical Tragedies pages. We will continue working on catching up documenting all our releases, and hope to have this part of the homepage finished in early 2011.
Other plans for this new year include getting the next MissmanagemenT release out, which will be "Retch". Later in the year we hope to put out another title in this series. We also hope to release the first book of Haiku writings by Joseph B. Raimond. So stay tuned.

Two paintings by Joseph B. Raimond from his new "Human.Beings" series will be featured in the Winter Salon 2010 exhibition at the Galeriehaus in Nuernberg Germany, from the 21st of November up through the 19th of December.
Finished and online is the page devoted to our Handmade releases.
26.9.2010
Our "Kuenstlergruppe" album is finished and now ready to release.
Various new and old members of DWM have been jamming and recording in our practice room recently, the same room in which The Pisstons rehearse. We have set up all our recording equipment in there now and have already recorded and mixed a track for a one sided single to be released very soon. This will be "After Snakes Came To Nuzzle", and is the second part in the "More Songs About Snakes And Fish" series and will come out on Marginal Talent. It will come with a very special cover and label design, so don´t miss out on it, as there will not be many made.
Other tracks have been recorded as well and we are working on what will become a new full length album. In contrast to virtually all other DWM releases, this one will feature real drums. Working title is "Sonic Doctors", but this might change. We will give this recording a high priority for release, so look for it sometime in 2011.
Many new pages with info on older releases have been added to the site as well, so check out what is new at our releases page.
1.8.2010
Our page devoted to our MissmanagemenT releases is now online! Also, some new artwork has been added to our e-gallery.
4.7.2010
We finally have our re-vamped e-gallery online. We plan on adding new exhibitions regulary now so check back again soon.
6.6.2010
The next DWM title in our MissmanagemenT series will be out soon. It is our "Kuenstlergruppe" album, recorded at about the same time as "Guitarred And Feathered", and like that title, features a real mix of musical styles, from industrial to punk to shitkicker country, all cooked together in the DWM garage style you have all have grown to love.
A new DWM album has just finished mixing and mastering. It will be called "RAJ Instrumental", and features nine instrumental tracks recorded by Ralf, Adrian and Joe, hence the title. Look for it on MissmanagemenT at the beginning of 2011 if all goes well.
Also, a new DWM mini CD has been finished, but as yet is untitled. It will be released as a 5 inch CD-R on our Handmade label.
In regards to our homepage, we have begun redesigning the various pages of our releases. Check out the pages devoted to DWM editions, the Witches project and our CD releases on other labels. We hope to finish the new pages for all the DWM releases this year.
By the way, all Hand-made releases now feature new, full color labels instead of the older black and white paper labels. The older releases as well have new label designs, so if you have one of the older releases with a paper label and would like to new CD-R, just let us know and we will send it out to you.

Yes, finally the dwmirran.de homepage is online! We have been working on the layout and the content of the site, and hope to bring it fully up to date soon.
The next two installments of our MissmanagemenT series of free CDs are now out.
"A Portrait Of Your Death" is a live CD of the third ever DWM live show, this time in 2007 at the John Peel Festival in Koeln. The self titled CD is a re-recording and remix of our first ever release, our self titled cassette release from 1984. Released exactly twenty five years after the cassette version, this CD is the first in a series of re-recordings and remix CDs that are planned for MissmanagemenT. Like all MissmanagemenT CDs, they are totally free, all you have to do is ask!

As 2009 slowly comes to a close we realize that DWM has put out quite a few new releases this year, none of which are mentioned here on the homepage. We will try to rectify that situation. Soon, this page will have it's own internet address: www.dwmirran.de . We are working on it, but it isn't quite finished yet. We have been busy getting the last finishing touches on our 25 year anniversary release finished before we devote more time to the homepage.
Out not long ago is our mammoth project "Ambiall", a massive ten CD-R set. This was the first release to feature our new label designs. We have gone from cheapo paper labels that seemed to strike with many CD players to a very nice, full color printed CD. We are also using the most expensive and best quality CDs for our releases now. Anyway the release features ten, one hour long ambient tracks, and comes in a special full color box.
We have updated the discography and concerts page.
The Penetraitors have changed their name to The Pisstons. After their singer Kuebel left the band because getting drunk in Berlin was more important than being in a band, guitarrist Jojo has increased his role in the band to include vocals. The results are 1000% better, and due to the marked increase in quality, the band decided a new name would .
