German band Neocracy released new single “Guilt”. The song addresses the consequences and impact of wars and global conflicts on the people and soldiers of every side, who are always the ones who suffer, while the perpetrators usually operate far from the action. The song’s message is especially dedicated to those who return from the battlefield but never truly feel at home. Unfortunately, these issues are more relevant than ever.
In the summer of 2020 Volker Pannek, Tim Pannek (father and son) and Franziska Stolze decided to record some songs just for themselves to pass the time of the pandemic in a meaningful way.
The three are connected through various band projects and have a lot of live experience.
Their goal was to create well structured songs with a high recognition value and to maintain the organic sound of the instruments.
A name for this project was found fast. NEOCRACY, a wordplay for new democracy.
NEOCRACY was a former project of Volker which has released two albums a few years earlier.
“The drummer for our album was the former drummer of the original band.
In the first place the songs were just written for ourselves because in the current times there should be no illusions about gaining fame or an income in the music business. But in the studio something wonderful happened. Everyone of the three musicians has put so much heart and personal emotions into the songs that they maybe should be presented to a larger audience. Either way we think that music only works through emotions and personal experiences.” Says the band.
