Eleine have released Ich Sehe Dich with a video, another song from The Water Taste Of Blood. The album is their fifth and arrives on 4 December through Algoth Records.

The hook is in German on a Swedish record, and it is the point of the song rather than an ornament. Ich sehe dich means I see you, and Rikard Ekberg and Madeleine Liljestam say the song was written to address directly the people who set out to hurt others. Said in German, over that riff, it lands as a threat rather than a complaint.

Musically it is the blunt end of the album: melodic verses that build and then give way to heavy riffing and tight groove, rather than the symphonic arrangements the band are usually described by.

Algoth Records has the record, with Sound Pollution handling the physical side and The Orchard the digital, which is the distribution arrangement a band this size uses to keep the masters and still reach the shops.
