Operatic black metal rising stars FOLTERKAMMER are now revealing a behind the scenes glimpse at the making of their latest music video for the song “Anno Domina.” The song is taken from the band’s sophomore full-length, ‘Weibermacht,’ which is due on April 19, 2024 via Century Media Records! The clip can be found at THIS LOCATION.
The original music video, which was once again directed by Folterkammer drummer Brendan McGowan, 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. Pre-orders are now live HERE.
In addition, FOLTERKAMMER has recently announced their first ever U.S. tour! The rising powerhouse will be embarking on an East Coast headliner with support from WITCHING, which kicks off on March 22 in Baltimore and will circle back to the band’s hometown of Brooklyn, NY on March 30.

With the first single “Enemy Is Me” from his upcoming album “Baptized By Fire”, David Reece sends a first hint at the musical direction of the new CD. Much heavier than its two predecessors! The reviews so far immediately draw comparisons with Accept – which was clear given his musical history – and other heavy metal heavyweights.
David Reece has changed, is more focused, but darker and more aggressive in his songs! But the single is also a foretaste of the outstanding quality of his new band. The three Italians Riccardo Demarosi, Niccolò and Giovanni Savinelli show impressively how “fresh wind” should sound in metal today.
Not much more needs to be said about David Reece. Since the late 80s, his charismatic voice has enhanced successful albums by ACCEPT, Bangalore Choir, Bonfire and the Sainted Sinners, among others. In addition to this, however, he also continued to focus on his solo career. As the cover and title “Baptized by Fire” already suggest, his latest album is significantly “heavier” than its two predecessors. Twelve new songs full of power, mature and varied. One reason for this is certainly his new band line-up. In his adopted home of Italy, he found three highly talented, creative collaborators with whom he was able to work on the songs around the clock. A paradise for a “thoroughbred” musician like Reece!

Fasten your seatbelts, as German modern metalcore upstarts SETYØURSAILS aren’t slowing down in 2024. After taking over stages at festivals like Summer Breeze and Full Force in 2023, the quartet is now set to drop their second studio album, Bad Blood, scheduled for release on April 12, 2024 via Napalm Records.
Jumping right into the pit with hard-hitting first single “Bad Blood”, SETYØURSAILS teams up with Zebrahead vocalist Adrian Estrella and showcases no mercy as modern electronic melodies and energetic screams build up to a top-notch breakdown. This new single and official music video follows the Cologne-based outfit’s recent announcement of their German co-headline tour alongside Rising Insane, kicking off in Leipzig, Germany on April 12. Tickets are on sale now, so get them while they last and experience the band’s unlimited live energy!
Vocalist Jules Mitch on “Bad Blood”: “This song is a personal reckoning that was more than easy for me to write. It reminds me that I’m stronger and more mature than my haters will ever be. You often get motivation from people who want to see you down. I hope they keep it up, I’m not done yet.”
Adrian Estrella of Zebrahead adds: “‘Bad Blood’! The punch in the face you need when taken advantage of, this song has brutally beautiful verses with melodic, truthful choruses. I’m very happy to be a part of this masterpiece with SETYØURSAILS!”
After successfully dropping their acclaimed debut album, Nightfall, in 2022, German Metal Hammer dubbed SETYØURSAILS as one of the scene’s best newcomers. The unit, composed of Jules Mitch, André Alves, Henrik Kellershohn and Nicolai Hoch, followed with extensive touring with Annisokay, Emil Bulls, Cypecore and Lord Of The Lost. On this intense new offering, SETYØURSAILS unleashes a mixture of highly infectious tracks and relentless, electrifying atmospheres.
Jules Mitchsays aboutBad Blood: “With our new album Bad Blood, we are ushering in a new era in our band’s history. This album is louder, more aggressive and more honest than anything we’ve ever done before. It is another step towards self-discovery and healing. It covers various topics such as betrayal, mental health, but also sex and a lot of complex emotions. Topics we have never addressed before. We are ready for a change, for a new chapter. A new opportunity for further development.”
Bad Blood kicks off with the charged-up banger “Bad Blood”, followed by the former standalone single “Best Of Me”, which was released alongside an official music video. The track represents the new chapter of the unit, pushing the boundaries of different genres while vocalist Jules Mitch skillfully unites both beautifully melodic and fiercely heavy passages. Created to play on repeat, the highly-infectious song “Bad Company” is dominated by smashing electronic beats combined with brutally melodic guitar lines and highlighted by a ground shaking breakdown. With tracks like “Lately” and “Heart Attack”, SETYØURSAILS lyrically shares their softer side by addressing personal conflicts and mental health concerns, and wraps the songs in a strikingly melodic atmosphere.
Prepare for a sonic onslaught as these German metalcore sensations gear up to unleash their second studio album, Bad Blood – promising a fierce and intense masterclass in modern metalcore.
