MEGAHERZ To Release Komet Album In February; Details Revealed
December 4, 2017, 6 years ago
Megaherz are back, with full force and sweeping passion. They are digging deeper on their brand new studio album, Komet, than ever before.
Megaherz went straight up and rocked the boat with their latest releases Zombieland (2014, Napalm Records) and Erdwärts EP (2015, Napalm Records). Now is the time for the next big Megaherz step into completely new spheres. With their upcoming studio album Komet they deliver a perfectly blended mosaic of metal, rock, gothic and sensitive and heavy weighted sensible lyrics.
The soul of Komet is clearly tangible: "Uncompromising and emotional." Hard, musically as well as lyrically. "On the other hand also incredibly touching," nods Lex satisfied about the opening to more depth, to change in his own cosmos. The genre term Neue Deutsche Härte has shaken off Megaherz over the years.
Today the very first details for Komet have been unveiled: album artwork, release date, tracklisting and available formats. Pre-orders are available now.
