German dark metal phenoms Nachtblut have released their new single, “Die Toten Vergessen Nicht” (German for "The Dead Don't Forget"), the fourth from their upcoming album, Vanitas, out October 2nd via Napalm Records.
Remarkably gloomy, “Die Toten Vergessen Nicht” (The Dead Do Not Forget) shines with an unmistakably dark and orchestral sound paired with Askeroth's distinctive vocals that stand somewhere between death and black metal. This powerful track will leave you with the palpable sense of melancholy that accompanies loss. This song embodies pain and anguish is a way that is both beautiful and brutal. The orchestral work is pure poetry.
Nachtblut comments: "In "Die Toten Vergessen Nicht" we are dealing with the experience of losing a beloved person. Almost everyone knows the tragic of that situation, which makes you aware more than everything else of transience and mortality. This song is breathing the Vanitas theme – a reminder that nothing lasts forever. It doesn't need many words, the song, and the experience speaking for themselves. A worthy last song on an album about the many facets and aspects of life and being."
