ROTH

The rising force of dark German metal, ROTH, returns with their long-awaited new album “Alles Endet”, set for release on January 30th, 2026 via Massacre Records on 2CD Mediabook and limited Vinyl LP.

Alongside the album announcement, ROTH unveil the first single and title track “Alles Endet”, offering a haunting and uncompromising introduction to this new chapter. With its grim storytelling, cold melodic hooks, and crushing Neue Deutsche Härte power, the track sets the tone for an album that reaches deeper, darker, and far more personal than its predecessor.

Following the widely acclaimed debut “Nachtgebete”, mastermind Quentin Roth spent over four years crafting its successor. Every composition, every lyric, and the entire instrumental performance on “Alles Endet” were created by Quentin himself, resulting in a work of complete artistic control and vision. This time, he also took on the full production and mix, shaping the album’s oppressive yet modern sound from the ground up.

The unmistakable voice of M. Roth, Quentin’s father, once again brings the stories to life adding emotional width, menace, and the signature vocal identity fans embraced on the debut. For the first time, the four bonus tracks on the Mediabook edition feature Quentin himself on vocals, fulfilling a long-standing wish of many listeners.

“Alles Endet” expands dramatically on the foundations laid by “Nachtgebete”. Across twelve tracks, the album covers the full spectrum of German-language metal: macabre melodies, grim narratives, violent crescendos, folk-tinged atmospheres, and emotional depth woven into an intensely modern production.

Guest guitarist Cedric Roß contributes lead guitar on several tracks, adding sharpness and aggression to pivotal moments such as “Am Leben”, “Stirb!”, “Zahle den Preis”, and the sinister “Leiche im Schrank”.

The entire sonic architecture of “Alles Endet” was shaped directly by Quentin Roth, who not only composed and performed the album in its entirety but also took full command of the production and mix at Panic Room Studios in Ernstroda. His meticulous approach gives the record its modern, forceful, and emotionally charged sound — a decisive step forward from the debut.

To complete the album’s audio identity, the material was then handed over to renowned engineer Markus Stock, who mastered the work at Klangschmiede Studio E in Mellrichstadt, adding clarity, depth, and a powerful final impact.

Visually, “Alles Endet” comes to life through the dark and evocative artwork of Svartir Andar Graphix, whose imagery perfectly mirrors the album’s themes of decay, fatalism, and emotional unrest. The result is a unified artistic vision in which sound and visuals reinforce each other with haunting cohesion.
