Following the triumphant return with their sophomore full-length “Tales Of Tragedy”, German death metal act CALL OF CHARON have unleashed the official music video for their track “They Come At Night.”

The video features exclusive live footage from the band’s performance at this year’s Wacken Open Air, where the new record was presented to the audience for the very first time. Adding even more intensity, the track includes a guest appearance by Dane Evans of To The Grave, who also makes an appearance in several scenes of the video.

“Playing the new songs for the first time at Wacken was an unforgettable experience. And having Dane performing in the music video is quite amazing for us,” the band states.

“Tales Of Tragedy” has already received excellent feedback from the international press and is quickly establishing itself as one of the most remarkable death metal releases of 2025.

The album was born in dark times. In the aftermath of the global pandemic, each member faced personal hardships — loss of loved ones, broken relationships, health struggles, and job insecurity. At the same time, the world itself seemed to grow colder and more hostile. These experiences shaped lyrics that are heavy, bleak, and emotionally charged, leaving little space for happy endings.

Musically, the record expands on the band’s 2022 EP “The Sound Of Silence”. While breakdowns remain a staple, “Tales Of Tragedy” adds a stronger death metal foundation, with black metal-inspired tremolo riffs and more melodic arrangements, resulting in a darker, more dynamic evolution of the band’s sound.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Stephan Hawkes (Attila, Chelsea Grin), the album also features guest appearances by Dane Evans (To The Grave), Hagen Petschat (Ruins Of Perception), and Damien Moyal (As Friends Rust). “Tales Of Tragedy” marks CALL OF CHARON’s most powerful and refined work to date.

After joining forces with Mystic Production, Massacre Records has finally revealed its forthcoming release schedule (find it here), starting with the long-awaited, new studio album by Germany-based death metal powerhouse Call of Charon!

Tales of Tragedy is slated for a release on August 1, 2025, pre-order options will be available soon.

A lyric video for the band’s first single, “The Demon King” featuring Damien Moyal (As Friends Rust), is now premiering below. Call of Charon reveal:

” The Demon King marks the first single from our upcoming album and serves as a fierce reminder of the band’s roots. A straightforward, hard-hitting track, that stands out with crushing riffs and a relentlessly brutal chorus.

Lyrically, the song introduces the “Demon King” as the embodiment of life’s darkest threats. Fueled by the full spectrum of negative emotions, it’s time to confront and eliminate this menace once and for all.”

Tales of Tragedy was written during dark times. After the global pandemic subsided, each band member was forced to confront personal struggles — from the loss of loved ones and broken relationships to health issues and uncertain jobs. Meanwhile, the world itself grew visibly colder and more bitter. These experiences shaped deeply serious and emotionally charged lyrics, leaving little room for feel-good moments or happy endings.

Musically, the album picks up where the band’s 2022 EP, The Sound Of Silence, left off. While signature breakdowns remain a staple, Tales of Tragedy introduces a heavier dose of death metal, alongside new elements like black metal-inspired tremolo riffs and more melodic arrangements. The result is a darker, more dynamic evolution of the band’s sound.

With mixing and mastering handled by Stephan Hawkes — known for his work with bands like Attila and Chelsea Grin — the album not only features guest appearances by Dane Evans (To The Grave), Hagen Petschat (Ruins of Perception) and Damien Moyal (As Friends Rust), but also marks the most refined and powerful production Call of Charon has ever had. Tales of Tragedy is set to push the band to the next level — and it’s just the beginning!
