MINDREAPER Unveils Epic New Video "The God I Am" In Anticipation of Upcoming Album “Withering Shine (...Into Oblivion)” Out Dec 2024
L-R: Christian Schoenke – Bass, Marcel Schneider – Drums, Sebastian Rehbein – Lead Vocals, Manuel Nozulak – Additional Vocals, Marcel Bangert – Guitars, Keys
Fans of hard-hitting melodic death metal are in for a treat as Germany's Mindreaper gears up to premiere their latest music video “The God I Am”. This visual spectacle serves as a powerful prelude to their highly anticipated album “Withering Shine (...Into Oblivion)” set to drop on December 2nd, 2024 via Death Age Records.
“Withering Shine (...Into Oblivion)” stands as Mindreaper's magnum opus, seamlessly blending traditional elements with modern symphonic touches to create a unique sonic landscape. The album promises to be a collection of eternal hymns, each track a testament to the band's musical prowess and emotional depth.
Mindreaper takes listeners on a haunting journey through the echoes of past existences, confronting themes of transience and irrelevance. The album doesn't shy away from societal critique, tearing open old wounds and processing the lowest socio-cultural structures while keeping an eye on potential apocalyptic dystopias.
Listeners can expect brutally snotty guitars, lung-piercing bass, and stomach-smashing percussion, all embraced by epic orchestral arrangements that avoid falling into kitsch. The varied vocals of two powerful singers add another layer of depth to the already rich soundscape.
As the band puts it, “It is not the raised index finger, but the middle finger that wields the pen and the sword!” It is recommended for fans of Carcass, Edge of Sanity, and At the Gates.
Watch and listen to the video for “The God I Am” via its premiere on TheCirclePit below.
Due out on December 2nd, 2024 via Death Age Records, “Withering Shine (...Into Oblivion)” will be available at the following links:
