IMPERIUM DEKADENZ Reveal Album Details + Premiere New Music Video! “When We Are Forgotten Coming” August 30th on Napalm Records!

June 13, 2019 admin Brutal News, Press Releases Comments Off

Atmospheric Black Metal duo, Imperium Dekadenz, have revealed the hotly anticipated details of their sixth studio album titled “When We Are Forgotten,” due out on August 30th with Napalm Records!

Where most of us might think that everything has been said and done in a genre, Imperium Dekadenz boldly seek new horizons: The highly atmospheric and emotionally dense soundscapes of the band shun a simplistic tag like “Melodic Black Metal” and have done so for ages – as Horaz and Vespasian seize the moment with “When We Are Forgotten” and delve deep into a complex cosmos made of anger, loneliness, melancholy and pure destruction. Their upcoming record not only convinces with a dynamic, energetic and organic production and sounds by no means polished, but is the same rough and dark as their home, the Black Forest, itself. In contradiction to the album`s title: This is unforgettable!

Earlier this week, the band shared the artwork and tracklist of “When We Are Forgotten,” but today we finally also get to dive into their blistering soundwalls with a brand new video to the song Absenz Elysium!

“We are proud to unleash the video for our new song “Absenz Elysium”. The band comments. “The video, produced by Oliver König, was mainly shot at the Hornisgrinde, Black Forest, Germany – our home region and the perfect surrounding for our art.

When life is cut from existence, all attainments, burdens and perceptions are melt with the elysium. All the efforts in life to leave a footprint in space and time…vanished into oblivion – Absenz Elysium.”

Imperium Dekadenz was founded in the late summer of 2004 by Horaz and Vespasian. Their band name was inspired by the 70ies movie “Caligula”, which was known as one of the most scandalous movies, because of its extreme violent and pornographic scenes.Imperium Dekadenz’ lyrics reflect genre typical topics like death, mourning, hate and desperation,while religious and political topics are not a part of the band’s concept. Generally their music style can be described as atmospheric Black Metal, to the same time also depressive, ambient and acoustic elements are a part of the compositions. Norwegian bands of the Second Wave of Black Metal in the nineties are the most influencing actors, as the band describes their roots.

 Characteristic style devices are epic melodies of mid-tempo speed, which induce in their changeover to the next part, a kind of dramatic and dynamic perception. Special features are the acoustic and ambient tracks which are more comparable to Classic (piano) and Neo-Folk music. Since their first appearance on stage, Imperium Dekadenz has played national and international shows, including Wolfszeit, Ragnarök, Metalfest (GER, CH, AT), Wacken Open Air, Inferno Festival, Metalcamp or Summer Breeze to name just a few. The whole subjective experience of the listener is opulent and epic, because of the rich contrast and the wide spread of musical styles. No wonder that Imperium Dekadenzalready belong to one of the most acclaimed Black Metal bands the current scene has to offer!
