Re: “Assassin’s Hand”/Bette Dillinger
Future Release Date: November 23, 2009

Diluvian Records is proud to announce the forthcoming release of the album “Assassin’s Hand” by Bette Dillinger. Also on this date the Official Bette Dillinger website, www.bettedillinger.com, will reflect this new direction Ms Dillinger has taken. It also contains “freebees”, communications, and opportunities to win copies of the album.

In the words of Ms Dillinger: “”Assassin’s Hand” comes from a phrase in “Oedipus Rex”. I was instantly in love with the phrase because it just jumped out at me as I was finishing up this album, which I was working very diligently on, but feeling increasingly anxious about releasing it because of personal issues. The work is both about nightmares and consequences. This seems to be the year of death of some very famous people, and this cultural nausea is reflected in this entire album. However, it is neither “goth” nor “gloomy and sparse” which I felt were approaches that needed to be challenged by me. I still adhere to the principles of Brecht.”

“My first emphasis is on the ability of the song to reach the listener. The production has improved, if I may say so myself. I am really happy about that! The various subjects addressed are love, death, wealth, poverty, control (this is always a theme), Stanley Kubrick, Oedipus, Greek myth, Mother Kali, and of course certain individuals that are named in the songs themselves. This is a record of death and transformation, with the emphasis on transformation.”

Uploaded for your pleasure are two tracks from the album, “Black Widow,” and “Private Eddie”…they can be found on last fm, and Reverbnation. On 11/23/09 you can find the album at your favorite distribution site (itunes, etc). The website is the lair of my obsessions. It will change to fit the theme on 11/23/09.

This album will be available 11/23/09. I expect I will not be competing with Taylor Swift fans ;) I think only an adult mind would appreciate it, and it is meant for mature psyches.

Happy Haunting,

Bette Dillinger
