German Dark Metal pioneers NACHTBLUT will release their sixth studio album Vanitas on October 2nd 2020 via Napalm Records. The listener will be drawn into the band’s musical maelstrom in a classifying NACHTBLUTmanner: hard riffs, Askeroth’s incisive vocals, rousing melodies and profound, candid lyrics. Three years after the previous album Apostasie was released, NACHTBLUT returns with even more vigor and might.
1. The opener of Vanitas, “Das Puppenhaus” (engl. the dollhouse), is reminiscent of scene greats such as RAMMSTEIN. Brutally honest lyrics and rhythmic guitars weave all throughout this Dark Metal hymn while a steady rhythm underlines the message of the track.
2. The folk-influenced single “Leierkinder” (engl. children of the lyre), off Vanitas, convinces with an addictive rhythm that will carry the listener away to days of yore. Dark and honest lyrics round off the overall ambience of the song.
3. NACHTBLUT’s third single “Meine Grausamkeit kennt keine Grenzen” (engl. “My cruelty knows no bounds”) quickly enfolds its harsh compelling sound of riff driven blast beats, right after the eerie intro. Completed by Askeroth’s pervasive voice, the song draws the listener deeper into their new album Vanitas.
4. “Die Toten vergessen nicht” (engl. the dead don’t forget), the third track on Vanitas, shines with an unmistakably dark and gloomy orchestral sound. The single captures the essence of NACHTBLUT perfectly and will cause shivers to run down the listener’s spine.
