PROTOKOLL19
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN

Following the successful debut with "Mental Decay", the dark electronic project Protokoll19 from Tampa, Florida returns with their second album. "Somewhere between Purgatory and Hell" promises to be another intense journey through the depths of the human psyche. The album is already being announced through three recently released singles. "Trivialized", "When Will It End", and "Connect" provide a first glimpse into the evolution of Protokoll19's characteristic sound, that explosive mixture of harsh synthesizers, heavy beats, and aggressive vocals that is always marked by a dark, sinister atmosphere. A special milestone awaits the band, as "Somewhere between Purgatory and Hell" will be premiered at the legendary Wave-Gotik-Treffen, one of the most important festivals of the dark scene. At the same time, Protokoll19 will celebrate their European live debut there, making this performance a historic moment for the project. True to their philosophy of not committing to a specific sound, the new album also promises to be a distinctive musical experience. The band, which continues to draw inspiration from occult themes and everyday struggles of life, once again challenges their audience to read between the lines and be completely swept away by the dark energy. The album title "Somewhere between Purgatory and Hell" suggests another exploration of those emotional liminal spaces that already distinguished "Mental Decay", somewhere between hope and despair, between salvation and damnation. This thematic continuity shows how Protokoll19 continues to explore the darkest depths of psychological states and acoustically stages the grinding battle against inner demons.
