SCHATTENMANN Release New Studio Album “Endgegner” - Out Now Via PERCEPTION 

German metal act SCHATTENMANN have released their brand-new studio offering, entitled “Endgegner”, today via PERCEPTION. At the same time, the band has started their album release tour, bringing the new material to stages across Germany and Austria.

With “Endgegner,” SCHATTENMANN lean into a heavier and more metal-driven sound. International press reactions have been strong. Devolution Magazine notes that the record shows “the industrial metallers at their most focused,” adding: “You’ll bang your head, you’ll sing along and you’ll groove like nobody’s watching. It’s a fun-fuelled romp well-worth your time.”

FFM Rock writes: “The album convinces across the board, the sound is fat and pumps pure energy, so it gets 8 out of 10 points here.” Powerplay Magazine UK goes even further, awarding 9/10 and stating that a “Future classic album status [is] guaranteed!” while Metalhead.it sums it up perfectly: "An album that stings, that cuts, that annihilates, that captivates. A sinful album that creates a wonderful addiction!"

To coincide with the album’s arrival, today SCHATTENMANN have also unveiled an official music video for the track “Wir sind das Ende der Welt”, premiering here: SCHATTENMANN - Wir sind das Ende der Welt (Official Music Video)

Frontman Frank Herzig says about the track:

“The song is an explosive declaration of love on the edge of the apocalypse - wild, unrestrained and uncompromising. Although it begins almost like a ballad, it unfolds into a modern metal track with metalcore elements. Far removed from kitsch and clichés, it tells the story of two people who break every boundary, summon storms and stubbornly give the world the middle finger. A hurricane of passion, chaos and raw intensity that sets everything on fire.”

“Endgegner” sets the tone for a new chapter in the musical journey of SCHATTENMANN, presenting themselves sharper and more focused than ever. Produced by Henning Verlage, the album represents a clear cut and a deliberate evolution of the band’s sound.

Following four studio albums and their first Top 10 chart entry with “Día de Muertos”, SCHATTENMANN continue to prove that change and progression remain at the core of their identity. Heavier, more aggressive, and unapologetically metal, “Endgegner” sees the band reborn in steel and fire, poised to claim their place in today’s heavy music landscape!
