About Siva Six

Siva Six grew out of Wintermute, a project started in Athens in 1997 by the vocalist Z with the keyboard players Evi and Noid. After Evi’s departure, Z and Noid renamed the act Siva Six and released the debut album “Rise New Flesh” on the Italian label Decadance Records in 2005, the year the band now counts as its founding. “Black Will” followed on the same label in 2006, and a 2008 double-CD edition paired a reissue of the debut with a bonus disc of fifteen remixes. Noid left at the end of 2006 and was replaced on keyboards by U-Ri, who remains alongside Z.

The band signed to Alfa Matrix in 2010 and stayed for seven releases across twelve years. “The Twin Moons” arrived in 2011 on CD and as a limited double-CD box, with separate Japanese and European remix editions. The fifteen-track “Superstition” EP followed in 2013 and the fourth album “Dawn of Days” in 2016, which entered the German Electronic Web Charts top ten that November. The digital remix album “NYX” appeared in 2018 and the four-track digital single “Ghost Dance” in April 2021.

“DeathCult”, their fifth studio album, came out on 19 November 2021, twelve tracks produced, mixed and mastered by Psychon of Septicflesh, and held a place in the German Electronic Web Charts top fifteen for eight consecutive weeks. It is dedicated to three of the band’s listeners, Anja, Izi and Vangelis. Advoxya Records issued a limited remastered “Black Will” on 10 October 2022 with two bonus remixes, and the eight-track digital EP “Fight the Machine” closed the Alfa Matrix period in May 2023. The band relocated from Athens to Leipzig in 2016.

Their twentieth-anniversary campaign began in December 2025 with a ten-minute retrospective video made by Artstinks.com, and continued through a 50-item anniversary bundle in January 2026 and a series of signed “Black Will” CD giveaways. The Spanish dates with Das Ich are the campaign’s first live shows.

About Das Ich

Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm met in Bayreuth in 1989 and formed Das Ich the same year, Ackermann handling vocals and lyrics, Kramm the music and electronics. The pair also founded the Danse Macabre label in 1989, which has released their catalogue since.

After fifteen years without new material, the duo returned with the single “Lazarus” on 15 August 2025, in single, Himmelfahrt and Erweckung versions. “Brutus” followed on 12 September 2025 with an Imperator Clubmix. The album “Fanal” arrived on 31 October 2025 on Danse Macabre in cassette, CD, double-CD, box and vinyl editions, the LP a white-in-black splatter pressing limited to 500 copies. Its eight tracks are “Menschenfeind”, “Lazarus”, “Was Bin Ich?”, “Vanitas”, “Dantes Hölle”, “Brutus”, “Prometheus” and “Genesis”. Kramm produced and recorded it at Danse Macabre Studios and supplied the cover artwork; Florian PunktP contributed drum loops to two tracks. Kramm discussed the band’s methods at length in a Side-Line interview in February 2026. Barcelona and Madrid carry that record to Spanish stages.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
