Nowy FIRTAN pod koniec września

 

Today, AOP Records announces September 30th as the international release date for Firtan's highly anticipated third album, Marter, on CD and vinyl LP formats. To coincide with the announcement, a brand-new video for the first single "Amor Fati" is revealed HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel.

Since their fortuitous formation in 2010, Firtan have been dedicated to a unique strain of extreme metal and have steadily built an enraptured audience across countless shows in their native Germany and abroad. Granted, the band's roots lay in black metal, particularly those pivotal days of the 1990s, but over the course of two acclaimed albums - 2014's Niedergang and especially 2018's Okeanos - Firtan have effortlessly integrated an eclecticism that has become more self-contained and increasingly kaleidoscopic. Now, they arguably deliver their masterwork: Marter.

Fittingly, the theme of Marter deals with the isolation of the modern individual who finds himself torn between spiritual hope and existential failure - and Firtan vividly paint this panorama in their most dazzling hues yet. And just like its massive predecessor, Marter was recorded at the esteemed studio Klangschmiede E with Markus Stock of The Vision Bleak/Empyrium. Completed by grandiose cover art courtesy of Władysław Podkowiński, Marter is a milestone of the dynamic German black metal scene - and Firtan have arrived as reigning kings.

Herald that arrival with the brand-new video "Amor Fati" HERE at AOP Records' official YouTube channel. Aforementioned cover art and tracklisting are as follows:
