Schattenmann unveil title track from upcoming album “Endgegner”; Out on March 13, 2026 via PERCEPTION!

SCHATTENMANN usher in the new year with the release of “Endgegner”, the title track from their upcoming studio album. The song signals a decisive next step for the band and sets the tone for a new chapter in their musical journey.

With “Endgegner” [German for “Final Boss”], SCHATTENMANN present themselves sharper and more focused than ever. The track blends German-language metal with pronounced core elements, driven rhythms, and an unapologetic attitude. Crushing riffs, a powerful groove, and a commanding chorus turn the song into a statement piece that reflects both intensity and confidence.

As frontman Frank Herzig reveals:

"This song was my ultimate final boss! Never before has a track driven me so crazy, challenged me so much, and demanded so much from me. In the entire history of Schattenmann, there hasn't been a song that required so many versions and attempts. In the end, I am incredibly proud of it – especially because the path to the finished song was so rocky and because it offers so much both musically and lyrically. It grabs you immediately and doesn't let go until the very end: hard, loud, emotional."

Their hotly-anticipated, new full-length offering “Endgegner” will be released on March 13 via PERCEPTION – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music. 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!
