Chaos Reign is the 4th and final pre-album single  from the band’s forthcoming new album Open Wide, O Hell, which is set to be released in two weeks on March 22nd!

Good things come to those who wait. FALL OF SERENITY are back with a new album ten years after their reunion. Their split lasted from 2009 to 2012. For the last five-four, the quintet has been preparing the release of “Open Wide, O Hell”. Were the musicians inspired by their former bassist Linus Klausenitzer (ALKALOID, OBSIDIOUS, OBSCURA/FALL OF SERENITY 2008-2009), who released his solo debut “Tulpa” in the fall of 2023? Maybe!

“Open Wide, O Hell” is also variably written and comes up with a good dose of surprises. The basis of the album still lies in melodic death metal, which is associated with the East German band founded in 1998. But a black metal impact is also to be attributed to the new song material and changes the musical face decisively. Besides, impressive melodies continue to lead FALL OF SERENITY through their songs. Quite a few of the tracks are true headbangers.

This has been the case since the times of the unforgotten, legendary split with HEAVEN SHALL BURN from 1999. The band around frontman John Gahlert enjoys cult status in the European melo-death underground.

With the new record, the musicians continue where they left off in 2009. “Open Wide, O Hell” – after “Bloodred Salvation” (2006) and “The Crossfire” (2007) the third album of the group for LIFEFORCE RECORDS – convinces with raw aggression and threatening darkness. FALL OF SERENITY succeeds not only to meet expectations surrounding their comeback, but to exceed them!

1. Thy Pathway
2. Darkness, I Command
3. I Don’t Expect I Shall Return
4. Wastelands
5. I
6. Chaos Reign
7. A Winter Song

Arm Yourself, A Storm Is Coming, this text passage from the first new FALL OF SERENITY single in 16 years I Don’t Expect I Shall Return can certainly be taken literally, because FALL OF SERENITY are preparing to leave no stone unturned with their new album Open Wide, O Hell, which is set to be released on March 22nd, 2024 via Lifeforce Records.

In 2007, FALL OF SERENITY unveiled “The Crossfire” on LIFEFORCE RECORDS, their last album that showcased their evolution and hinted at the broader musical horizons they would explore in the years to come. The album garnered enthusiastic acclaim from both press and fans, further propelling their journey.

After a hiatus due to health-related challenges, FALL OF SERENITY has emerged stronger than ever, marked by a profound shift towards black metal influences. This evolution adds an extra layer of depth and darkness to their already potent sound.

Now, 16 years later, the band returns to its old label home for the release of their new album “Open Wide, O Hell”, which is set to be released March 22nd, 2024.

As they make their return to the stage, FALL OF SERENITY invites fans to witness their metamorphosis firsthand. Stay tuned for updates on preorder options and upcoming tours.
