Würzburg, Germany, -based black metal act DAGDRØM has delivered another intense taste of their upcoming debut full-length record, entitled “Schauder”, which will be out on May 9. Following the release of the first single “Ascheregen”, the band follows up with the track “Tagtraum”.

Stream the single HERE

“If one song could sum up DAGDRØM musically and thematically, it would be ‘Tagtraum’. Dissonant but melodic, aggressive but dynamic with a lyrical focus on disturbing, cryptic and intangible dreams/daydreams as a critical insight into one’s own soul,” the band comments. 

Tracklist:

1. Intro
2. Ascheregen
3. Purpurne Stadt
4. Tagtraum
5. Alle Worte
6. Atme
7. Flüsse
8. Freund
9. Ära
10. Kalte Fliesen

Following their 2022 debut EP, “Dagdrøm”, released via Rising Nemesis, which explored the atypical black metal subject of serial killer Edmund Kemper, the band began recording “Schauder” in the latter half of 2024.

DAGDRØM‘s musical influences extend beyond traditional black metal, incorporating elements of hard/deathcore, post-metal, grindcore, and death metal to create an innovative and difficult-to-categorize genre blend. The song material is notably intricate and technically demanding. “Schauder” explores life’s challenging periods, where internal struggles lead to psychological abysses. Themes include loss of reality, blurred lines between dreams and reality, anxiety/panic, relationship issues, the desire for healing, homicidal fantasies, and trauma. The album represents a thematic shift for the band.

“Schauder” features traditional black metal elements combined with diverse influences to create a consistent and high-quality sound. The songs are characterized by contrasting elements: fast blast beats, complex double bass patterns, technical riffs, atypical breakdowns, dynamic quiet passages, choral vocals, varied vocal techniques, and catchy song structures.

The album will be coming out on May 9, self-released by DAGDRØM, and was mixed and mastered by Nikita Kamprad (Der Weg einer Freiheit). “Schauder” is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION
