Dark Fortress release new music video for ‘Pali Aike’

DARK FORTRESS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Pali Aike, is taken from the German black metal band’s brand new album, Spectres From The Old World, which was released yesterday.

Speaking about the song, guitarist Santura says, Pali Aike is a song with a particularly compelling groove and a very dense atmosphere. If you wanna hear some fast stuff, though, listen to the album in its entirety!”

Continuing to talk about the song, vocalist Morean explains, “an ode to the violent volcanic forces that shaped our Earth, inspired by my visit of a remote, little-known volcanic site in Southern Chile. The area had been inhabited for many thousands of years before the first European settlers arrived, and these natives called this site the ‘home of the devils’ in their language (‘pali aike’). The lyrics are a literal description of how I experienced the place – eerily haunted, scattered with sun-bleached bones left by hunting mountain lions, and filled with mirages invoked by awe-inspiring shapes and colors of moss-covered lava formations and lakes that miraculously disappear when you get close to them. The violent and tragic history of settlement of this remote corner of the world gives a morbid twist to the site’s now tranquil and peaceful aura of abandonment.”

Spectres From The Old World is out now via Century Media Records.
