New album, “Schicksalsweg”, out on December 12th!
Schatten Muse, the Greek-German duo, are redefining Neue Deutsche Todeskunst (New German Death Art) with their dark, electronic soundscapes, inspired by electronic underground music of the 80s and 90s. The band is returning this December with their second album “Schicksalsweg” which will be released via The Circle Music.
Regarding the new album, the band said: “The fading splendour of transience is lost in the silence… in secrecy a transcendent soundscape becometh unveiled. The second Schatten Muse album is haunting, mysterious, melancholic, spiritual and powerful. Feel the vastness and freedom in the sound of ” Schicksalsweg “! The album is mainly influenced by the electronic underground sounds of the 1980s and 1990s, especially Neue Deutsche Todeskunst/New German Death Art.”
The band members of Schatten Muse are no strangers to the gothic and dark music scenes. Schatten (Shelmerdine) is also a founding member of Dark Awake with which he has released over 20 albums and EPs. Muse (Sylvia Fürst) has co-founded a german deathart project, Egotragik, and is credited for translating the song “Gott Ist Tot” (Antichrist War Mix) by Impaled Nazarene on the “Ugra – Karma” album released in 1993.
“Schicksalsweg” follows where the debut album “Vergänglichkeit” (2022, The Circle Music) started. With poetic lyrics about madness, desperation and isolation, Schatten Muse combines elements of dark wave, gothic, neoclassical and electro wave, all filtered through their personal prism and poetic mood along with dramatised and theatrical narration.
