In 2023, after an illustrious cult career spanning more than 20 years, German melodic black metallers DARK FORTRESS came to an end. Now, the band is making one final offering to its fans; 'Anthems From Beyond The Grave - Live In Europe 2023' was recording during the band's final European run, 'The Cosmic End Tour,' in 2023. DARK FORTRESS is now sharing the first song and video from the offering, "Pulling At Threads (Live in Europe 2023)," which can be found at THIS LOCATION.
“I never thought DARK FORTRESS would have a live album,” says V. Santura (guitars). “The technical situation–we had multi-track recordings of two shows [Rotterdam and Bochum]–allowed for ‘Anthems from Beyond the Grave’ to happen. I didn’t even listen to the recordings for months after the tour. When I finally did, I thought, ‘Holy shit!’ We sounded incredible, and I'm hardly ever happy with our shows. All of our hard work had finally fallen into place on that tour. When Century Media heard it, they said, ‘We’ve gotta release it–it’s too good not to!' If this is our end and it definitely is, then it’s a fitting end to DARK FORTRESS.”
'Anthems From Beyond The Grave - Live In Europe 2023' is due on January 17, 2025 via Century Media Records and can be pre-ordered HERE.
