NEW WORLD DEPRESSION unleash video single & details of new album

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION unveil first video single ‘The Vault‘
& details of forthcoming new album “Abysmal Void“

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION conjure the wrath of the spirits from the deep seas in their new video clip ‘The Vault‘. The song is also the opening track and the first single taken from their new full-length “Abysmal Void“. The seventh album of the German death metal veterans has been scheduled for release on September 19, 2025.

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION comment: “The opening track ‘The Vault’ of our new album ‘Abysmal Void, is a dark hymn of guilt, vengeance, and nature’s wrath”, guitarist Julian Schulz explains on behalf of the band. “Once the spirits of the sea awake and rise, there is no escape. The song tells a metaphorical story of a doomed ship’s crew, which symbolises humanity’s self-inflicted demise as we relentlessly drain the planet’s resources.”

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION raise the furious spirits of earth and sea on their seventh full-length “Abysmal Void”. The album’s ten songs each represent a chapter filled with one or more of humanity’s failures such as delusion, greed, destruction, and war. 

The German death metal veterans deliver an honest reckoning with the current state of the world – brutal, unfiltered, and unforgiving. “Abysmal Void” continues the dark thematic journey that began in 2020 with “Descent” and found its continuation throughout the band’s latest album “Interment of Sins” (2023). Having landed in a mire of guilt and ruin of its own making, humanity now stares into the Abysmal Void, where nothing remains but darkness and decay.

Musically, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION stay on track and true to their old school death metal roots, yet “Abysmal Void” received a healthy dose of more groove, more atmosphere, and more depth. Sound-smith Jörg Uken has honed the album to perfection at his famous Soundlodge Studio in East Frisia, which enjoys an excellent reputation in death metal circles and beyond.

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION were founded in the historic Münsterland, to the north of the more famous Ruhr Area and with the once powerful bishopric and medieval city of Münster at its centre, in the year 2005. The Germans started out with a more death’n’roll sound on the debut EP “The Last Step of Evolution” (2005) as their first public sign of life, which was followed by the full-length “Unseal Pandora’s Curse” (2008).

During their early development, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION began to shift gradually towards old school death metal by taking inspiration from bands such as ASPHYX, BOLT THROWER, and OBITUARY. Fascinated by the groove-driven, crushing style of the nineties, which combined raw intensity with striking melodies, the Münsterlanders found their true calling and passion.

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION deliberately opted to stay within underground DIY circles and released six albums and two EPs through channels of the die-hard death metal scene. Despite this set-up, the band was regularly invited to perform at festivals and as support at shows across Europe. Over the years, they shared stages with leading acts of the scene such as ASPHYX, LIK, SINISTER, TANKARD, UADA, and VADER among many others.

With the release of “Decent” in 2020, NEW WORLD DEPRESSION decided to step up their game and opted for a professional production and label. This move forward was greeted with excellent reviews and more shows, which led to the band continuing on this path with their next full-length “Interment of Sins” that was rewarded with even more success on all levels.

NEW WORLD DEPRESSION take humanity to the edge of the abyss with all the musical expertise gained from many years of experience both live and in studio. Just remember, if you listen hard to the brutal death metal inferno of “Abysmal Void”, the abyss might also become aware of you!
