Schandmaul Release New Single “In der Hand” + Official Music Video!

With the release of their brand-new single “In der Hand”, German folk rock greats SCHANDMAUL opens a significant new chapter in the band’s history. It's the first song unveiled since the lineup change announced in late April – marking the musical beginning of a bold new era.

From now on, Till Herence takes the lead on vocals, guiding the long-standing folk rock band into the future with energy and familiar passion. He takes over from Thomas Lindner, who can no longer perform vocally after recovering from cancer. Lindner remains an integral part of the band, switching roles to play acoustic guitar and keyboards on stage.

“In der Hand” brings together everything SCHANDMAUL has always stood for: stirring melodies, poetic lyrics with emotional depth, and their unmistakable sound. The track isn’t just a powerful musical statement, it’s a symbol of new beginnings. The official accompanying music video visually reinforces the song’s message, standing as a tribute to courage, strength, and community.

SCHANDMAUL on “In der Hand“:

“This song comes straight from the heart and captures exactly what drives us right now: we’re moving forward! We’re far from done – there’s still so much we want to say! With renewed strength, fresh support, and a burning passion, our hearts are on fire!”
