Black Metal duo ASARHADDON release video for “Ein letzter Frühling”; New album out October 4 on Vendetta Records!

October 4 will mark the highly anticipated release of “Êra”, the upcoming new album by German atmospheric black metal duo ASARHADDON, set to be unleashed through Vendetta Records!
In anticipation of this upcoming release, the band has unveiled a music video for the first single “Ein letzter Frühling”. Watch the video here: 

In their own words, the band shares: “Dear listeners, allow us to steal some of your precious time, by unveiling the first track of our forthcoming full-length record, titled ‘Êra’. ‘Ein letzter Frühling’ takes you into 7th Century Japan, painting a dramatic yet enchanting picture of sovereign Suiko’s life, the first female Tennō of Yamato. Celebrating a decade of misery this year, we are delighted to welcome you to another milestone of our musical catalogue. Come with us, Asarhaddon.“

ASARHADDON‘s sophomore full-length “Êra” marks a significant milestone for the band as they celebrate their tenth anniversary, inviting listeners to embark on a journey through time and emotion.

“Êra”, which translates to “crown” in Old Low Franconian, weaves the tales of four kings, drawing inspiration from true historical events. The record reads like a singing book, transporting listeners to a realm filled with sorrowful melancholy, golden sands, deep forests, enchanting autumn colours, and distant waters. ASARHADDON‘s music serves as a poignant reminder of days long past, inviting a dance of majestic timbre and wailing poetry.

The album cover, adorned with the skulls of four birds, symbolizes the respective countries of origin of the four kings. This striking imagery was captured in a local forest that holds significant meaning for the band, reflecting their roots and the journey they have taken over the past decade.

In their grieving compositions, the collective envelops the listener in a meld of grand atmospheres and a ponderous sadness. Their instruments form choirs chanting mournful hymns, meandering through the gloom of arcane worlds forgotten by time. Accompanied by remarkably poetic calls, the two writers reveal a deep longing for secludedness in nature.

“Êra” by ASARHADDON will be available on October 4 via Vendetta Records.
