Highly original concept and sound, fascinating lyrics. :-)

Very nice song with nice sound and vocal expression!!

Spring 2025 Discoveries.

Many people simply want to hear and enjoy some great new music without having to waste time searching for hours. These Musical Discoveries collections aim to fulfil those needs. At least, we hope so! :)

This playlist is a compilation of the favourite musical discoveries of the Wud Records team from everything they heard at SoundCloud during February, March and April 2025.

Tracks have been arranged according to the number of plays at the moment of publishing, starting with the fewest. Tracks that are early in playlists tend to receive more plays than later tracks, and we feel that the ones with fewer plays need the best chance of exposure.

Why not promote your track on social media and watch it overtake the play counts on later tracks? Now there's a challenge!

These compilations used to be monthly, but with the algorithms becoming ever more squeezed, fewer people are finding and listening to them now. If listenership should increase, we may revert to monthly playlists again. More here: https://www.wudrecords.co.uk/news/wud-records-future-of-musical-discoveries/

This playlist is extremely eclectic, so if the track you are playing isn't quite doing it for you, try the next one. It will probably be completely different.

If you enjoyed listening to something here, please give it a like and a repost. Follow the artist. Give them a shoutout on social media. Check out some of their other tracks. Buy something from them and your support will help them to keep going. Doing any of this will help raise their profile. At the very least you might make their day. :)

Sharing is very, very important !!

Sharing is a massive help for independent artists. They don’t have big corporations and mainstream media saturating every channel with their product. Every independent share counts.

Giving something a ‘like’ is nice, but sharing exposes the artist to your followers. This means that anybody in your community can see and click on what you shared. They can potentially enjoy it as well. It enables somebody new to discover the artist and become their newest fan. You create the chance for that to happen.

If you happen to be on this playlist, please share, and give us a shoutout on your social media feeds - because if we spot it, it gives us another opportunity to repost you and big you up. Please listen to as many tracks by the other great bands as you can - at the very least the one before yours, yours, and the one after yours, to hear how you stack up - and... enjoy!

Kapitel: Zelle B
B-Zellen-Lymphom. Klingt wie Biologie. Oder wie das Kapitel aus einem Lehrbuch, das man überliest, weil man denkt: Trifft ja eh nicht mich.
Aber seitdem es mich trifft, denke ich: B-Zelle – das ist wie Zelle B.
Ein Raum im Körper, verschlossen. Keine Tür, keine Fenster, keine Gespräche. Nur das: Ich bin drin. Und komme nicht raus.
Man sagt, es sei bösartig. Ich sage: Es ist einfach da.
Es hat sich ausgebreitet. Nicht laut, nicht plötzlich. Wie ein Gerücht, das sich ohne Quelle durch den ganzen Körper schlängelt.
Ich bin nicht krank in dem Sinne, wie andere denken. Ich bin eingesperrt – von innen.
Und draußen läuft die Welt weiter, als sei nichts.
Man sieht mich. Aber nicht das, was ich bin.
Einige sagen: Ich wirke verwirrt. Andere denken, ich sei auf Drogen. Ich höre das manchmal – Wortfetzen, Flurgespräche, Blicke, die zu lange an mir kleben.
Aber keiner fragt, ob ich gerade gegen mich selbst kämpfe.
Mein Körper ist nicht normal. Mein Gesicht manchmal zu müde für den Tag. Meine Augen springen, als wollten sie ausbrechen.
Ich sage nichts.
Ich rede mit Murschel. Er versteht.
Ich gieße Pflanzen, um mich selbst zu erinnern, dass Wachstum möglich ist. Ich fahre Fahrrad, als wäre die Bewegung eine Petition gegen das Stillstehen.
Und überall ist dieses Gefühl: Ich bin Teil der Welt, aber in einem anderen Modus.
Ich bin draußen. Aber Zelle B ist immer mit.
Manchmal stelle ich mir vor, ich wäre tatsächlich im Knast. Besuchszeiten gibt es nicht. Wärter – nur innere Stimmen. Der Hofgang: Mullersand. Die Mitinsassen: Gedanken, die keine Ruhe geben.
Und der Vorteilskauf war nur ein Versuch, mit der Außenwelt Handel zu treiben.
Doch dann kommt da ein alter Mann. Gibt mir zehn Euro. Nicht weil ich gefragt habe. Sondern weil er gesehen hat. Für einen Moment war da Licht im Zellenblock.
Und ich denke: Vielleicht ist Zelle B kein Knast. Vielleicht ist es ein Raum, in dem ich lerne, meine Stimme in der Stille zu hören.
Vielleicht ist der Körper nicht gegen mich. Sondern mit mir.
Vielleicht bin ich nicht krank. Sondern auf einem Weg, den man nur bei Nebel sehen kann.
Ich atme tief. Die Wendeltreppe ins Off rostet weiter. Der Beton bleibt heiß.
Aber ich lebe.

Ich bin in Zelle B. Aber ich bin nicht nur dort.

Kapitel: Zelle B (Außenposten)
Es riecht nach Bauschaum und billigem Kaffee. Die Luft ist nicht schlecht, aber sie steht.
Ich bin in Zelle B. Nicht metaphorisch. Nicht symbolisch. Heute wirklich: Gitter an der Tür, drei Wände aus Beton, eine aus Stimme.
Ich sitze auf der Pritsche, die mehr Stille kennt als Schlaf. Murschel kauert unter dem Metallrahmen. Er ist legal, aber geduldet – wie ich.
Die Nummer an meiner Tür beginnt mit B. Das ist Zufall. Oder nicht.
Ich denke: Vielleicht war mein Lymphom nur der erste Haftbefehl.
Draußen höre ich Schritte, die keiner begleiten will. Der Hof ist heiß. Kein Schatten außer dem Verdacht.
Ich werde von anderen gesehen. Manchmal sprechen sie mich an, als würde mein Blick halluzinieren.
„Du wirkst verwirrt“, sagen sie. „Brauchst du was?“
Ich lache nicht. Ich nicke. Nicht weil ich zustimme – sondern weil ich keine Lust auf Debatten habe.
Der Vorteilskauf ist weit weg. Aber das Schild steht vor meinem inneren Fenster. ROT. GRAU. ZWEIFEL.
Ich habe dort Geld verloren. Und jemand hat es mir gegeben. Jetzt verliere Ich die Zeit. Und keiner weiß, wie man sie zurückgibt.
Ein Wärter geht vorbei. Er sieht aus wie der Mann mit den Hunden – nur ohne Hunde, ohne Ruhe, ohne Blick.
Ich denke oft daran.
Damals: auf der Rückfahrt. Euphorie. Wind. Das Gefühl, dass ich nicht allein bin, selbst wenn ich es bin....)

Die Fortsetzung folgt am Nächsten Sonntag um 10:00h.

“Soul Hunt” is one of the most direct and visceral tracks on the album — a relentless vision of unseen warfare, where human souls are the prize in an eternal struggle between forces far greater than ourselves. Based on one of my oldest lyrics ever written, the song captures a world drenched in fear and metaphysical violence. Peace is yearned for but never found.

The verses paint a bleak picture: “It’s all over” declares one line; “Bloodstained icons weep in woe” ends another. These aren’t just poetic images — they’re cries from a world where fragile human lives are tossed into a cosmic battleground beyond comprehension. The music echoes this turmoil with razor-sharp, old-school thrash metal riffing, driving the message home with unrelenting force.

At its heart, “Soul Hunt” forms the eschatological core of the album — a dark framework where the sacred collides with the violent. The Latin chorus, “Libera me, Domine, de morte aeterna” (“Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death”), taken from the Roman Catholic Office of the Dead, becomes more than a liturgical chant. It’s a desperate plea for endurance, for grace, for something to hold onto in the face of annihilation.

----------------------------------------------------------------

SOUL HUNT

A star fell blazing, torn from the sky,
Ghostfire flickers, years burn dry.
Lunatic echoes are tearing the spheres,
Behind steel gates, the enemy appears.

He winks at me with a hollow stare –
A pupil-less gaze, a frozen glare.
"Come with me," he speaks to me, "behold!
We'll walk in the void like the gods of the old!"

Bell tolls crash on the lead-gray land,
The last fires go out, lost in the sand.
It’s all over – we fade in the tide, 
abandoned island, fortress denied.

Life’s breath is stolen, I drink from the still,
degusting the wine that the ages spill.
Spare me, O Lord, from the hunter’s chase,
Grant me, O Father, a night of grace!

Libera me Domine
de morte eterna! 
(Deliver me, O Lord, 
from eternal death)

The forest echoes from the hunting cries,
Dark shadows creep where the lost souls lie.
A soul hunt is raging deep down below,
bloodstained icons weep in woe.

Bettina Busch - "Träumerei" ist ein moderner deutscher Popschlager mit emotionaler Tiefe, positiver Energie und einer eingängigen Hook, die im Ohr bleibt. 
Der Text lädt ein, sich ganz bewusst auf das Positive zu konzentrieren – denn manchmal sind es genau diese Träumereien, die das Leben leichter machen.


"Träumerei" is a modern German pop song with emotional depth, positive energy, and a catchy hook that stays with you. The lyrics encourage listeners to focus consciously on the positive aspects of life – because sometimes it's precisely these daydreams that make life easier.

Your vibe don’t lie, I feel it rise  
Eyes closed, still read the signs  
You move like moonlight in disguise  
A touch so real, can't fake that high

EaselMouth is an Oregon-based duo making genre-blurring alt music that blends psych-folk, indie rock, and sound-design-driven production. Their debut album Sock Puppet Theater explores addiction, spiritual unrest, false identities, and surreal dreams—all through a poetic lens. Their songs are honest and hallucinatory, packed with metaphor and emotion. This is music for the emotionally alert, the misunderstood, and the seekers of strange beauty.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
