Dark Fortress Release Seventh Album Venereal Dawn via Century Media

Dark Fortress

 

Formed in the Bavarian foothills when the second wave of black metal had grotesquely clawed out of the grave and into the unforgiving light, Dark Fortress benefited from the rotten fruits of right place and right time.  For the past two decades, Dark Fortress have gone from strength to strength. Across six full-lengths, the Landshut-based sextet stretched the boundaries of black metal, while remaining pure to the tenets of a genre that pivoted (and continues to do so) solely around the axis of the dark and all that resides hideously inside of it.

Check out what the press has to say about Dark Fortress’ Venereal Dawn:

 

BLOODY GOOD HORROR:”…turning these familiar musical ideas into black metal that is far more engaging and compelling than 90% of what gets labeled as such.”

 

METAL RULES: “Dark Fortress obviously feel they have something to prove, and Venereal Dawn is a challenging, worthwhile album as a result.”

 

AMPS & GREEN SCREENS: “If you’re a fan of Black Metal, Death Metal, Progressive, Satan, Magic… anything, music in general. There is much to be heard here.”

 

NEW NOISE: “Prepare yourself, for the dawn is coming, whether you like it or not…”
