NEWS: Cemetery live with “Thoughts On Life… And Death”!

Exploring themes of fear, manipulation, psychological isolation and the final struggle for dignity in the face of dehumanization, a relentless concept album about the rise of a totalitarian regime and the collapse of the individual within an oppressive system is the first new material from German Death Metal act Cemetery in six long plague ridden years. The album, titled “Thoughts On Life… And Death” will be out on 8th August with a music video for “Grief, Anger And Despair” now streaming. If you like what you hear, pre-orders for the record are available over at bandcamp.

Vocalist Dani Zizek reveals: “‘Grief, Anger And Despair’ is probably the most aggressive track on the album. I wrote it during a time when I was reflecting on state power, injustice, and the loss of control. What happens when justice no longer serves the truth, but political interests? When people who resist simply disappear? I wanted to put that helplessness into sound.

Musically, it’s four and a half minutes of pure rage – frantic drumming, razor-sharp riffs, no breathing space. The video, created by Matthias Heilmeier, captures that exact atmosphere. He managed to translate the bleak and oppressive mood of the song into raw and powerful images – intense, dark, and absolutely uncompromising.”
