Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

To celebrate the success of their freshly released sophomore full-length, operatic black metal rising stars FOLTERKAMMER are now sharing a detailed track by track breakdown for ”Weibermacht’ in a brand new clip! Frontwoman Andromeda Anarchia takes a deep dive into the album’s taboo themes of domination, fetishism, and the courageous men who submit themselves to strong women, the special guest appearances, the meanings behind some of the German expressions, the folklore inspirations behind the record’s themes, and so much more! The 10-minute video can be found at THIS LOCATION.

‘Weibermacht’ serves as a counterpart to the band’s 2020 debut, ‘Die Lederpredigt.’ The new record is another searing blend of modern black metal and classical music elements, lending to its Avant Garde sound. The music itself is elevated by frontwoman and vocalist Andromeda Anarchia’s dynamic vocal work as she juxtaposes her classical training as an opera singer with her hellfire screams, summoning a maelstrom of ethereal chaos.

The record is available HERE.

Here’s what the press is saying about ‘Weibermacht!’

“Part Nina Hagen, part Joan Sutherland, part Diamanda Galás, Anarchia’s four octave range really is something to behold as she hits notes with precision and perfect clarity, and conjures tortured, inhuman shrieks like an enraged banshee.” – Ghost Cult Magazine (9/10)

“…Anarchia’s vocal gymnastics of unhinged vocal screams, aggressive dominatrix presence in her commanding voice, and just overall progressive and vibrant vocals.” – This Day in Metal (9.5/10)

“…this record will leave listeners quivering, shaking, maybe a little aroused.” – Meat, Mead, Metal

“Folterkammer should be at the top of every extreme metal fanatic’s list of bands to watch as they leave their grim mark on the pages of heavy metal history.” – The Metal Mayan

“There is not enough praise in the world to give for how special and creatively masterminded the music of Folterkammer truly is. For beautiful songs that are as dark and raw as an old troll’s cave in the winter’s night, Cryptic Rock gives Weibermacht 5 out of 5 stars.” – Cryptic Rock (5/5)

“Folterkammer are not your typical symphonic black metal band, with Weibermacht showing a unique approach and flawless execution.” – Heavy Music HQ (4/5)

“[Andromeda] is a tour-de-force, no two ways about it, a hellcat in nine-inch heels who will purr with contentment as she licks your blood from underneath her fingernails.” – New Noise Magazine (3/5)

“The darkly erotic Weibermacht is the band’s second album, and it’s a breathtaking blend of jagged black metal riffage and piercing operatic vocals.” – Bandcamp Daily
