German heavy psych rockers KANT are celebrating the release of their brand-new studio album, Echoes Of Unfortunate Times, out October 23, via Sound Of Liberation Records!
Marking the band’s third full-length release, the album sees the Aschaffenburg-based four-piece pushing their sound further than ever before, delivering eight tracks of heavy psychedelia, doom-laden riffs, and krautrock-inspired experimentation.
With Echoes Of Unfortunate Times, KANT sound more direct and uncompromising than ever, while embracing a newfound sense of musical freedom. Building on their heavy psychedelic foundations, the band explores darker, more contemporary territory without losing the raw energy and hypnotic grooves that have become central to their sound. The result is an album that feels both heavier and more adventurous than its predecessor, 2024’s Paranoia Pilgrimage.
At the heart of the record lies a theme that feels particularly relevant in today’s world: fear of the future. Rather than retreating into nostalgia, KANT confront the uncertainty, anxiety, and unease of the present head-on, channeling these emotions into eight powerful and deeply personal songs. As singer and guitarist Marius Seidel puts it, “the most honest and emotional album we have written so far.”
Since their formation, KANT have steadily carved out their own place in the heavy psychedelic rock scene. Drawing inspiration from the psychedelic and heavy rock sounds of the late ’60s and ’70s, while incorporating elements of doom, heavy metal, and experimental rock, the band continues to evolve with each release. On Echoes Of Unfortunate Times, they leave behind some of the occult atmosphere of their previous work in favor of a more immediate, emotionally charged, and forward-looking approach.
To celebrate the album’s arrival, KANT are getting ready to hit the road as part of their album release tour, bringing their new material to the stage alongside fan favorites. Find all upcoming dates listed below!
Echoes Of Unfortunate Times was written and performed by KANT and produced, mixed, and mastered by Patrick Stäudle, with artwork by Manuel Wesely.
