Folterkammer is now streaming their new single "Leck Mich!" alongside a fun, empowering music video directed by drummer Brendan McGowan and produced by Vile Luxe Studios. The single is taken from Folterkammer's upcoming record Weibermacht due out April 19. Pre-orders are available here.
"The expression 'Leck mich!' has several meanings in German," said Folterkammer vocalist Andromeda Anarchia. "The literal (Lick me!) and the more abstract, vulgar version, short for 'Leck mich am (Arsch)!' (lick my a$$!), which is vulgar for: 'Leave me alone!' or 'Fvck off!'
"The title of our upcoming album is Weibermacht and this is the thematic leitmotif that runs through all the songs, including 'Leck mich!'
"The term 'Weibermacht' refers to an art and cultural-historical motif and describes the triumph of women (and their erotic power) and love over men. In poetry, particularly powerful, wise, strong, and beautiful men allow themselves to be seduced by the folly of love and lose their self-control, virtue, dominance or even their lives.
"In the song 'Leck mich!' the commanding tone is set; men are once again playfully commanded into the submissive and obedient role. 'Who sets the tone here?' there is a clear answer: 'The goddess, the mistress, the dominatrix.'"
