http://infinitusensemble.bandcamp.com/album/scherbenschlaf-sleep-of-shards
1)
I have recorded new material for a debut album with "
Null Komma Null".
This is some really nice Underground Punky "Deutsch" Rock music with a big dirty Stoner Blues fist showing right into the face of reality.
The CD is coming in late December 2015 and Mr. Rock is playing some nice licks, too, I have heard.
2)
I have also been working with the two other boys from "
Black Hole Raven"
(Dirty Heavy BLues Rock with both feet on the UnderGround with English lyrics) on the debut album.
Actually the songs have been recorded & mastered back in 2013/2014.
Unfortunately these guys are lame old suckers, so it still takes a while to get the Baby out.
In the meantime the band has written a lot of new songs who COULD make it on album nr. 2 or 3.
Live shows were small but the applause was loud and somehow tasting of whisky.
3)
Beside that I have recorded a couple of new tracks for my solo projects, again more Rock stuff.
YOu should also give Mr. Ralli Rock and the Moan of the Sky a chance, if you are into classic non mainstream rock music
I keep you informed about it.
4)
I have also been mastering a couple of new releases for "
The Inifinite Three",
a UK band you should REALLY check out, if you are into Post Punk/Rock and Post Industrial and a nice touch of Experimental Rock music
2014Brand new EP "
Among Black Hearts" is out now. Extremely limited edition CD on special canvas papaer (8 pages digisleeve!!!)

2013Culture is not your friend has reviewd "Ralf Rabendorn - Exile"
Read it here:
http://cinyf.wordpress.com/reviews/ralf-rabendorn-exile/
"It’s only once in a long while that you come across an album that turns you upside down.
I think that ‘Exile’, coming from the deep, dark and sincere place, allowing its creator, Ralf Rabendorn, to attempt and draw the listener into the desert of the real. Is it really real? I don’t know, but what I do know is that Ralf’s voice, together with the shattered, painful music, brings out menacing, even if majestic voices of reason that wear the unsettling sounds like a crown of thorns and horns.
Cinematic and nostalgic, ‘Exile’ gathers twisted, orchestrated music that paints a gloomy, apocalyptic world around Rabendorn’s voice, who sounds like an all knowing narrator who tells you the inevitable tale you need to hear just before the last curtain is being pulled down on this world.
Not to take anything from the rest of the album, I think that ‘Decoy’ is the most powerful and percise song on this great work, feeling like a refreshing requiem to our oh so tiring existence. The end is near, my friends. The end is near, and this music is more than a fine choice to dress this closure with. This is beautiful."
(CMP 29) Testphasen negativ - The Final Hours (2013)

Testphasen negativ - Perspectives (E.P.) (2013) FREE EP! It's been a long time since the last TN output, but now the first sign of life in years.

http://kulturterrorismus.de/rezensionen/ralf-rabendorn-exile.htmlI'd like to add the "Fazit/Bottom Line" here, too
RALF RABENDORN Werke besprechen zu dürfen, gehört im Verlauf der vergangenen 10 Jahre betrachtet, zu den Herausforderungen überhaupt, wo sich sein neustes Meisterwerk “Exile” nahtlos einreiht, das in meinen Augen wie Ohren sein persönlichstes (wie emotionalstes) Opus (bisher) darstellt – meine absolute (Kauf-) Empfehlung! PS: Falls Sie “Exile” von RALF RABENDORN nicht verstehen, gehören Sie zur mitlaufenden Masse in Deutschland! (KulturTerrorismus)Here a few songs from the Global Hideout Bandcamp page (where you can buy the digital download version and the CD)
