"Remedies" (Lifeforce, 2009)

The thoughtful concept that underlies Remedies is based on the curative effect of Bach Flowers. Just like these homeopathic remedies offer an answer to various emotional prisons, the tracks on the album reflect the whole spectrum of human emotion. The songs and lyrics on this album are to heal the receiver’s injured hearts and souls and offer new strength and motive force to carry forward this struggle called life.

"Smile Like A Wolf" (Let it Burn, 2008)

In times when the music industry is stumbling across its own feet, it’s time to break new ground. As a band you have 2 choices, you either play the game by the old rules hoping you’re one of the few at the mercy of the old marketing and promotion strategies. Or you can trailblaze your own pathway through the ever-changing music business.

To go the most direct way without detour to your hearts and ears we decided to release ‘Smile Like A Wolf’. We put at least as much effort in this download EP as in any other release we put out so far. We spent hours and hours at the practice place, later on in the studio, forced our most drastic life experiences into lyrics, got Dave Quiggle (Rise And Fall, Disciple A.D., Atreyu, War of Ages, etc.)  to do the artwork and Milchglas Media to do the web development, to make sure ‘Smile Like A Wolf’ is gonna fully satisfy us and you. This is our hearts and our lives, this is what we love to do and this is what we want to share with you, the fan, the listener, the fuel that keeps us running.

"Munich Valor" (Bastardized, 2007)

"Munich Angst & Valor" (Bastardized, 2007)

This EP has been written and recorded in only 6 weeks. These five songs could not be more straight-forward and honest, qualities that are becoming more and more a rarity. Both EPs (“Munich Angst” & “Munich Valor”), which have also been released as a limited 2xCD-packaging, merge to a oneness that displays the whole lifecycle of a human being in the anonymity and isolation of our modern world.

"Munich Angst" (Engineer, 2006)

"Munich Angst" Repress (Bastardized, 2007)

All members have tried to create the most candid, outspoken and emotional music that they can, an intention the listeners will thankfully embrace. THE BLACKOUT ARGUMENT’s self-conception is reflected in their thoroughly honest and downright personal lyrics about crucial decisions and their impact on life, personal loss and the challanges of relationships. No tearstained love songs or lukewarm cries for help, but outspoken statements about the waywardness of life, and the resolution to confront it.
