Only about a week after the release of the new album in Germany, we received the following news: Double-Crosser has made the highest entry into the German Alternative Charts (DAC) entering at position 4.

It's finally time for good news from the Seabound camp: The band is currently recording the last track for their new album Double-Crosser, scheduled for a November 2006 release. At this point, several friends and colleagues are involved in putting final touches to the band's third album release, including INGO RÖMLING (artwork), ROMAN KASPERSKI (photography) as well as OLAF WOLLSCHLÄGER and Eskil Simonsson of Covenant (co-production for select tracks). COVENANT and ROTERSAND are preparing remixes, and a special collaboration between Seabound and Australian act TANKT is also in the works.
This week, Seabound have been selected Featured Band on VAMPIREFREAKS. Coinciding with this event, the band offers an exclusive pre-listening snippet from the brandnew album track "Sapphire" on their Vampirefreaks profile. Check it out HERE if you like. The lyrics to "Sapphire" can be found HERE.

North American Tour cancelled
We deeply regret to inform you that Seabound will not be able to join Covenant on their Skyshaper North America tour scheduled for this fall. The
reason for this unfortunate turn of events first and foremost lies in the responsibility of the booking agency in the US. A series of organizational failures and
miscommunication led to the point when a change of booking agents became the only reasonable action. The inevitable consequence is that the tour is now
being postponed, maybe for just a couple of weeks, maybe for longer. As a result, Martin and Frank are no longer able to be part of the tour, because
of obligations in their day jobs.
This was devastating news for the band, too, because Seabound were very committed to play this tour and were eager to present their latest as well as
brand-new material to their North American fans and friends. Hopefully, there will be another possibility to come over soon. We are already discussing new
options and will inform you once the new developments take shape. For the time being, stay tuned for news about Covenant's Skyshaper tour that will
eventually take place with a substitution for Seabound in the support line-up.

New album close to completion
Seabound are working fulltime on their third studio album entitled "Double-Crosser". Recording and mixing are supposed to be finished by August. Dependent and Metropolis have not yet set a release date, but an official release in the fourth quarter of 2006 seems very likely.
The lyrics will deal with "deceit" in all possible ways. From self-deception to betrayal of friends and allies, the album tells stories that boil down to the ultimate question: Will the good in us stand a chance or will lies and deceit seal our fate?
Technically, the full bandwidth of classical Seabound style will be there: electro ballads and club tracks as well as experimental elements. For the new recordings, the Seabound studio was updated and extended to provide the ultimate technical grounds for creating complex landscapes of sound that have become Seabound's trademark.

"Extended Electronics", a new double CD compilation on Angelstar/Zoomica, is released on 07 July reviving the tradition of extended 12'' versions from the 80s.

Finally, it's going to happen: After a long wait, Seabound will tour North America once again supporting COVENANT on their "Skyshaper Tour 2006" in September. Opener will be IMPERATIVE REACTION. The current schedule includes about 20 shows in the US and Canada. Seabound will play highlights from their two available albums "No Sleep Demon" and "Beyond Flatline" as well as unreleased tracks from their third album which is currently in the making.
Details about the tour will soon be revealed on this site.

Seabound are back from Sweden and would like to thank all visitors of
this year's ELECTRIXMAS FESTIVAL for a warm welcome and superb support.
Due to miscommunication the Seabound gig unfortunately ended up being 15
minutes shorter than initially planned and the band would like to
apologize to their fans.
The reason for this organisational error was a
last-minute change of the running order. In the course of events, the
organizers failed to inform the stage-crew about the new schedule. When
Seabound left the stage after 45 minutes, the stage curtain was closed
and all instruments were disconnected immediately. As a result,
Seabound could not play an encore.
Our next concert in Scandinavia will be longer - that's a promise!

Seabound have contributed a remix of HAUJOBB's "Platform" to their most recent release "Vertical Mixes". Almost 2 years after the release of Haujobb's "Vertical Theory" album, this 13-track release includes exclusive new material as well as remixes and re-interpretations. Apart from Seabound, Haujobb themselves as well as acts like Glis, Hecq, and This Morn' Omina have laid their hands on the tracks. Check it out!
Unfortunately, the track-listing on the European release is erroneous and the same seems to be true for the US release. As far as the Seabound remix is concerned, it is featured as track 08 on the CD, not track 07 as suggested in the booklet. [ » TRACKLIST]
