Voyna streams new album ‘Monsters’ exclusively on Side-Line ahead of release on November 28, 2025
Voyna
Voyna, the Berlin post-punk/darkwave project of Golden Apes frontman Peer Lebrecht, will release his new full length album “Monsters” on November 28, 2025. But today you can already stream it exclusively on Side-Line.
“Monsters” is the second full-length album by Voyna and will be out via Aenaos Records as a digital edition and as a 4-panel digipack CD with download. The record follows the debut album “The Cinvat Bridge” and the EP “…and the Heresies”, and marks Voyna’s first cooperation with Aenaos Records.
Musically, “Monsters” moves between synth-driven darkwave and guitar-based post-punk, with a strong focus on Lebrecht’s voice and lyrics. Peer Lebrecht wrote the music and lyrics and handled vocals, synths and programming, with guitars by Maximilian Hennig and Thommy Hein, bass by Christian Lebrecht and mixing and mastering by Thommy Hein in Berlin.
The track “Wrong Face” served as the lead single and is already available on digital platforms as we reported a few days ago, while “Calcium Well” is offered as an instant grat track with pre-orders. “Monsters” can be pre-ordered now via Voyna’s official Bandcamp page, which hosts both the digital version and the CD edition.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
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. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
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.
