Cabaret Voltaire have announced their new studio album Shadow of Fear.

Revealed today, this will be their first studio album since 1994’s The Conversation. The first single from the record titled “Vasto” can be heard below. When it comes to the record, Richard H. Kirk said:

“The album was finished just as all the weirdness was starting to kick in. Shadow Of Fear feels like a strangely appropriate title. The current situation didn't have much of an influence on what I was doing - all the vocal content was already in place before the panic set in - but maybe due to my nature of being a bit paranoid there are hints in there about stuff going a bit weird and capturing the current state of affairs.”

Pre-orders for Shadows of Fear can be made here. The album will be released on November 20 via Mute.

In 1979, iconic industrial outfit Cabaret Voltaire were asked to record the soundtrack to Babeth Mondini’s film Chance Versus Causality. Without any knowledge of the movie, the members recorded it live in their studio. 15 years ago, the band found the only copy of the soundtrack and decided to put it in safe keeping for a potential release.

Today, the band announced this hard to find soundtrack will be released for the very first time on August 30 through Mute Records. That same day, Cabaret Voltaire will release 1974-76 for the first time on vinyl. This compilation album was first released back in 1980. Pre-orders for both albums can be made here.

A new Cabaret Voltaire album is currently in the works. Their last studio album was 1994’s The Conversation.
