HARKON Release First Single And Video ‘Watch The World Go By’ from Upcoming Debut Full-Length

Since their formation, HARKON from North Rhine-Westphalia have been delivering sophisticated, melodic, and at the same time powerful HEAVY METAL.

Following their EP “Ruins Of Gold” (2019), the band’s long-awaited debut album “Love And Vore” will finally be released on October 31, 2025, via Doc Gator Records – a powerful work that balances catchiness and progressiveness, carried by strong hooks, anthemic choruses, and profound lyrics.

Supported by the Wacken Foundation and refined by Cornelius Rambadt’s production and Dennis Koehne’s mastering, “Love And Vore” combines the power of classic Metal tradition with modern, powerful energy …

Now, the band has released a first single and video ‘Watch The World Go By’ from the upcoming album.

HARKON reveal:
“‘Watch The World Go By’ is about still seeing beauty in the rockiest road ahead – even if it sometimes means letting the outside world, with all its blunders, pass you by.”

LYRICS
I’ve seen them haul, I’ve seen them fall
No time to breathe or to recall
And laughter echoes through the streets of shame

Defeat today, trade on the prey
No time to fail or to replay
And silence laughs at all the scores you aim

I see tomorrow, a diamond in the rough
I see it coming in darkness, fair enough
I see its colours with half an eye
And watch the world go by

On wires and walls, a beggars’ ball
It’s all for none and none for all
And laughter echoes from a distant shade

I’ve heard them crave from shallow grave
It’s all but glory to the brave
And silence laughs at all the plans you made

I see tomorrow, a diamond in the rough
I see it coming in darkness, fair enough
I see its colours with half an eye
And watch the world go by

With half an eye I watch the world go by

For the powerful, transparent, and wonderfully organic overall sound of their songs, HARKON once again relied on a well-established producer duo:

Cornelius Rambadt (Disbelief, Bonded, Sodom, The Very End) handled the recording and mixing, while Dennis Koehne (Lacuna Coil, Caliban, Orden Ogan) took care of the mastering.

The result is an organic, powerful, yet modern sound that perfectly captures the essence of Progressive and Melodic Heavy Metal.

» With “Love And Vore”, HARKON finally prove that they are more than just an insider tip:
a band that delivers catchy anthems with depth, thrilling fans and critics alike – and showing that metal from Germany can still write new chapters in 2025 … [ … learn more here ]
