German darkwave band Silke Bischoff has signed with Dependent Records for catalogue reissues, though specific release details remain unannounced. Axel Kretschmann, the project’s co-founder and current frontman, expressed enthusiasm about restoring the band’s material to fans after extended unavailability. Dependent Records founder Stefan Herwig praised Silke Bischoff’s seminal influence on the 1990s gothic scene, noting their tracks became club anthems and their visual aesthetic defined underground dark music culture. The band, originally formed in 1990, released influential albums including their 1991 self-titled debut and 1995’s “To Protect and to Serve” before dissolving mid-decade. Kretschmann has revived the project in 2025 with drummer Markus Köster and keyboardist Andy Simanowitz, with three German performances scheduled for September 2026. Dependent Records, established in 1998, represents acts like Covenant and Mesh within the industrial and darkwave genres.
