Black Forest Metal unit Finsterforst returns with their brand new album, “Zerfall,” on August 2nd with Napalm Records. On this record, the band gets back to their roots and elegiac soundscapes of classics such as the critically acclaimed “Mach Dich Frei” (2015). Their emotional brand of post black metal gives vent to endless rage with pounding riffs, somber choirs and astonishing orchestral elements “Zerfall” has to offer. The centerpiece and culmination of it all has to be the 36-minute long (!) “Ecce Homo” though, that unfolds into a majestic post metal journey crowning Finsterforst ’s songwriting skills and career to date. Today, the band is sharing this masterpiece of darkest art in black metal, and even in a shortened single edit we get to hear ahead of the official album release, you will be able to witness the fierce soundwalls of Finsterforst’s new magnum opus in its entire beauty. Listen to “Ecce Homo” and watch the lyric video HERE!
“Our new album ‘Zerfall’ kicks in mightier and much deeper than our previous releases.“ the band comments. “With ‘Ecce Homo’ we present a very intense track, which forces the audience to go on a journey – a trip to relaxation and emotional depth.”
