Circle Of Sig Tiu - Signals On Tiusday (7'' 1987, Germany)

Circle Of Sig Tiu were a German punk band in the 80ies. Under the name "Aus98" the relased a single in 1983. This single is very rare but you can find both tracks on the sampler "Godfathers of German Gothic" and on the second LP of Circle of Sig Tiu "Signs of Time". In the early years the band played a rough and dark punk like Der Fluch but without trashy lyrics about zombies and werfewolves. The First LP "Feuer und Asche" from 1985 is really good.

The second LP is weird, there are some great apocalyptic songs (f.e. "Virus", "Feuer und Asche", both Aus98 Songs), but there are also christian lyrics combined with hardcore punk music.

The single "Signals On Tiusday" was released in 1987, the songs "false replacement" and "no rest in peace" have been recorded live in 1987. It's funny, that you can hear 4 different drummers on this single (just take a look at the back, in every song another drummer). I admit, that this single isn't very good: Christian lyrics, hardcore punk and metal influences...

I like it, because it's weird in a funny way...

The Band released another LP in 1988 "We came in love but not for peace". Hardcore punk meets white metal, I guess singer Jay Kay aka Josef Maria Klumb went completely insane then.

After the Circle split up the singer Jay Kay started the Darkwave Band "Forthcoming Fire", later "Weissglut" and finally "Von Thronstahl". On the homepage he writes about his "individual-fasistic" attitude, the zionistic conspiracy, left wing secret agents in the gothic scene and other weird crap. If you want to waste your time (or amuse yourself) check out the homepage. If you want more crap, buy an anthology or his autobiography.

Completely nuts...

However, here's the single:
