Nachtblut announce new album ‘Vanitas’

NACHTBLUT have announced a new album!

Titled Vanitas, the upcoming album from the German band follows 2017’s Apostasie and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Napalm Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band says, “three years after our last release, it feels great to be back with such a multifarious record. Vanitas combines many elements, from melodic songs, electronic sounds to heavy, fast riffs. We merged those to one harmonious oeuvre and we more than happy and excited about the result.
As the title reveals the idea of transiency and mortality is major topic on this record and have been influenced by the Danse Macabre and the Vanitas still life paintings. But this did not limit us to not speak out about injustices and bringing up painful subjects, nor to be less contentious.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Das Puppenhaus. Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band continues, “with Das Puppenhaus we combined an issue that seems to be outdated, but actually is more up to date than you might think. The title of song sounds nice and harmonious, but if you see behind the curtain you will realise the omnipresent and claustrophobic atmosphere. With the dark video for Das Puppenhaus we substantiate the songs prevailing mood and giving the metaphor we use a strong visual cue.”
