Neaera announce new self-titled album

NEAERA have announced a new album!

After announcing their farewell tour in 2015, the German melodic death metal band has now re-formed and will release their new self-titled album in February next year!

The upcoming album is the first album from the band since 2013’s Ours Is The Storm. For their upcoming self-titled record, the band decided to work with professionals and studios that have contributed to their history. Drums were recorded in the Docma Klang Studio in Osnabrück (where the demo was recorded in 2004) and has been mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen [VOLBEAT, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, etc].

The band’s fire was first rekindled when the band played two exclusive shows in 2018. “We have been overwhelmed by the reactions,” comments singer Benjamin Hilleke. “None of us was expecting that and it was the moment when the fire was de-fact again!” A little while later Tobias Buck started to come up with new song ideas. “I just really got up to it again and met directly with our friend and later producer Trisan Hachmeister to record a few things in his studio for testing purposes. The other guys were immediately fished-on from the first auditions. A few months later, we sat down together at one table and decided to record another album together.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; titled Torchbearer.
