VERHEERER - Urgewalt LP

Since unleashing their debut EP 'Archar' in 2015, VERHEERER has become a staple name in the German metal underground. Their sound, somewhere between black, heavy, and death metal, resembles the storms of their homeland on the northern german coast: primarily cold and tempestuous, but sometimes also threateningly slow and thus even more destructive. The four-piece eschews common clichés, instead exploring the depths of the human condition with unflinching honesty. Always somewhat removed from our tangible world, they set to music the doubts, suffering and dark emotions that have accompanied mankind since the beginning of history. And what theme runs as a common thread through all the centuries, if not the absolute will to destroy - to the point of self-destruction? The new album was composed and written with this basic idea in mind and with the First World War, which revealed a new level of cruelty and dehumanization and at the same time shaped our world like no other conflict to this day, the canvas was also found on which VERHEERER paint their very own pictures. Of the loss of humanity in an industrial machine of destruction, of seduction and seduction and the mechanisms of power that make the incomprehensible possible in the first place.
