The German EBM act SERPENTS was founded in March 1988 by Kazim Sarikaya and Stefan Kuboteit. Frank Heiner and Nicole Altmann joined the band a few months later. They released three highly sought-after tapes “The Clock Strikes the Midnight” (1989), “Until Eternity” (1990) and “L’Âge d’Or” (1992). Thereafter, SERPENTS became a leading member of the burgeoning Dark Electro/EBM scene along with Second Voice, Plastic Noise Experience, Project Pitchfork and TRIAL. 

After a few line up changes, SERPENTS released their critically acclaimed debut  “Terminal Breath” (Gothic Arts Records, 1993), followed by “Have Fun” mcd (Gothic Arts Records, 1995), “What’s Fear?” (Out of Line, 1999) and the digital-only album “Immer Voran!” (2010). The long gap between SERPENTS albums has enabled the band to continually refine their music production and add complex Dark Electro textures to their signature EBM sound. 

In 2015, Electro Aggression Records (EAR) released the long-awaited fourth SERPENTS album “State of War” along with a revised and expanded edition of “Immer Voran!” The 2CD was met with high praise from EBM connoisseurs and new fans alike. Relive the golden age of EBM with “L’Âge d’Or” 3CD featuring a Best of SERPENTS album (2022 reworks and a brand new track “In your mind”) and the remastered out-of-print tapes + “Terminal Breath” and “Have Fun”. EBM has never sounded better!
