Landshut, Germany-based black metal group Dark Fortress have filmed a music video for the track \u2018Pali Aike\u2019. Directed by Guilherme Henriques, the clip can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, guitarist V. Santura said: \u201c\u2018Pali Aike\u2019 is a song with a particularly compelling groove and a very dense atmosphere. If you wanna hear some fast stuff, though, listen to the album in its entirety!\u201d<\/p>\n

Vocalist Morean added: \u201cAn ode to the violent volcanic forces that shaped our Earth, inspired by my visit of a remote, little-known volcanic site in Southern Chile. The area had been inhabited for many thousands of years before the first European settlers arrived, and these natives called this site the \u2018home of the devils\u2019 in their language (\u2018pali aike\u2019).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lyrics are a literal description of how I experienced the place – eerily haunted, scattered with sun-bleached bones left by hunting mountain lions, and filled with mirages invoked by awe-inspiring shapes and colours of moss-covered lava formations and lakes that miraculously disappear when you get close to them. The violent and tragic history of settlement of this remote corner of the world gives a morbid twist to the site\u2019s now tranquil and peaceful aura of abandonment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dark Fortress issued eighth full-length studio album Spectres From The Old World<\/em> on February 28th, 2020 through Century Media Records.<\/p>\n

Frontman Morean commented: \u201cTogether with the rest of the human race, the protagonist reincarnated as a disembodied creature of pure light in \u2018On Fever\u2019s Wings\u2019, the last song of Venereal Dawn<\/em>. The new album attempts to draw a picture of such a mind\u2019s perspective on life – reincarnating as pure, massless energy. The narrator has become the fabric of the universe itself. This is where heavy physics and string theory come in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spectres From The Old World<\/em> was recorded, engineered, mixed, and mastered by guitarist V. Santura at Woodshed Studio in Landshut throughout 2019.<\/p>\n
