Again, I am blown away by the power and versatility of Morean’s vocals. We have just finished recording all of the lead vocals with Morean on Monday, and only a few last details and two guitar solos are missing. We decided to keep quite silent and vague about the process but now the recordings are basically completed. The title will be “Spectres from the Old World”. “We have been working intensely on our new album over various sessions in the last couple of months. We are currently putting finishing touches to our eighth studio album. The following festivals are announced as well:Ģ4.05.20 (USA) Baltimore – Maryland DeathfestĢ7/28.06.20 (USA) Los Angeles – California DeathfestĢ3.07.20 (SK) Drevenice Reviste – Gothoom Festival Morean comments: “To celebrate the release of our eighth studio album “Spectres from the Old World”, we are happy to announce a handful of release shows next spring in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

Glimpse into the endless black of the universe on “Spectres from the Old World”, which is available in the following formats: Santura at Woodshed Studios throughout 2019, “Spectres from the Old World” marks an important milestone in DARK FORTRESS’ journey along actual and spiritual left-hand paths. Recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered by V. At no time in DARK FORTRESS’history have they reached so far out into the darkness, only to find the domine of astronomy non-existent, the end merely an end. “Spectres from the Old World” is more direct, more aggressive than its predecessors. For a first taste check out a semi-static clip for the song “Pulling at Threads” here: Venerated black metal specialists DARK FORTRESS return with a new album, “Spectres from the Old World”, on February 28th, 2020. Seraph, we bow to you, and thank you for 2 decades of awesomeness!” And I think playing our first show on „the other side“ of the Atlantic in the City of Angels is a pretty great setting for a proper farewell.

I see this situation with a laughing and a crying eye: On the one hand it is a pity that Hannes can’t be with us, on the other hand we are also excited to play one more time with Seraph and give him a proper farewell. Fortunately, Seraph, despite already having left the band, proved again that he is a fantastic guy and loyal friend and stepped in for Hannes.

But due to an injury Hannes was forced to cancel California Deathfest which at first seemed to leave us in a desperate situation regarding the show.

“We can hardly believe it, but California Deathfest seems to happen for real next weekend! But not only because of the (obvious) circumstances California Deathfest will be a very special and meaningful show for us: This is our first show in over 2 ½ years, our first show in the United States ever, the very first show for our latest album „Spectres from the Old World“ and… also the last show of our drummer Seraph who has been our brother in crime for the last two decades:Īctually Seraph had „(in)officially“ left the band already after the recordings of „Spectres from the Old World“ and our good friend Hannes Grossmann was supposed to play all upcoming shows.
