DARK FORTRESS announce release of VENEREAL DAWN in September 2014 via Century Media
German
Black Metal veterans DARK FORTRESS will release their 7th studio album
worldwide on September 1st, 2014 in Europe and Australia/NZ as well as
September 2nd, 2014 in North America through Century Media
Records. The record will bear the title "Venereal Dawn" and will be a
concept album in nine chapters.
Three
years in the making, "Venereal Dawn" will take the band's traditionally
rich musical spectrum further than ever. Always aiming for an
innovative equilibrium between hellish black metal, sophisticated
melancholy, atmospheres of metaphysical horror and a deep occult
spirituality, the album will be a substantial offering to DARK FORTRESS'
already extensive back catalogue. DARK FORTRESS have never taken the
challenge of making a new album lightly, and again took a radically
uncompromising attitude in concept and composing. Many songs were
written since 2010's "Ylem", and many were discarded again to make sure
the new material would be able to exceed previous releases in quality,
relevance and authenticity.
Increasing
scheduling conflicts with the member's other bands and jobs, as well as
the humongous amount of hours that this endeavor required, had forced
the band to postpone this release a few times in recent years. At the
end of an excessive recording session in late 2013, 9 songs were chosen
to mark the band's 20-year anniversary with what they hope will become a
landmark album in their long career.
Expect
epic song structures, mighty sonic cathedrals, virulent and sinister
magic and lots of unexpected twists and turns as the bands drags you
screaming and headbanging through the abysmal roller coaster of their
universe once more. Further details to be announced. A tour and video
clip are in the making for autumn 2014. It took longer than they had
hoped for, but as of today, one fact is undeniable:
DARK FORTRESS is back.
