Music group, Das Ich, releases 'Lazarus' - their first new single in fifteen years
After over a decade, German darkwave band Das Ich has made a comeback with their new single "Lazarus." The single is part of a 3-track release scheduled for August 15, 2025. The upcoming album "Fanal," set to be released on October 31, marks their first full album in 15 years.
The single "Lazarus" is a pulsating work that seamlessly blends electronic cacophony with classical chamber orchestra elements. The thematic preview offers a dark exploration of resurrection and death through provocative religious imagery, creating a heavy and dramatic atmosphere.
Das Ich, founded in 1989 by Stefan Ackermann and Bruno Kramm in Bayreuth, Germany, became one of the defining acts of Neue Deutsche Todeskunst (New German Death Art) in the early 1990s. Known for their orchestral industrial sound and theatrical live performances, the band's signature style continues to be reflected in "Lazarus" and is expected to be a recurring theme in "Fanal."
Fans can anticipate "Fanal" to embody Das Ich’s familiar blend of gothic theatricality and philosophical depth. "Lazarus" provides a glimpse of its pulsating, hybrid sound and thematically intense material.
