Der Klinke is a newwave band from Belgium. Combining the pure atmosphere of the eighties with nowadays influences. Their sound is a unique variety of dark industrial dance, coldwave and classical post-punk.
With the album debut "Square Moon" the belgian band DER KLINKE present a classic new-wave / cold-electro sound, which stands in the tradition of genre-classic bands from Belgium, which were responsible for a lot of unique electronic-based sounds during the 80s and 90s.
The songs on this album are very well balanced between hypnotic electro-wave tracks like the title song or "Clear Mind" and more experimental and industrial influenced tracks like "Perfectly Dead" or "Radio". The modern and transparent production in combination with a highly variable collection of compositions and lyrics create an album, which is suitable for both the listener and the club audience.
The live performance of DER KLINKE features an almost completely live played set, which is supported by guitar, bass and e-drums. This creates even a more powerful and organic live sound, which is designed to be different from the album and to support the originality of DER KLINKE live concerts.
