The German occult pop duo St. Michael Front unveil the video clip "Wir sehen uns wieder" as the first single taken from their new masterpiece Schuld & Sühne. The Hamburgian "Apocalypso Schlager" duo formed by guitarist Bruder Matthias and singer Bruder Sascha will release their bold sophomore full-length on Friday, 13th of May via Auerbach Tonträger, a sub-label of Prophecy Productions.
The video is an illustration regarding the German lyrics of "Wir sehen uns wieder". While the balladesque song superficially appears to be a typical Hamburgian harbour song full of romantic longing for the far-away or returning home from it, its lyrical core delivers a punch to the face about alcoholism. Once the brass instruments kick in, it also becomes crystal clear that this is not your average 60s Schlager either.
"Our first new single "Wir sehen uns wieder" is intended as both a hymn and a swan song", Bruder Sascha describes the character of the first single from the upcoming album Schuld & Sühne. "This final ode to life is intoned like in a church service. The song is also a profession of faith in the odyssey of the seekers and in the eternal sea!"
Madness reigns where St. Michael Front tread: The duo from Hamburg, Germany does not give a damn either about artistic boundaries or musical taboos, but happily combines chanson and Schlager, neofolk, pop, and soundtrack with audible relish. On their second album entitled Schuld & Sühne (Crime & Punishment), which for the first time is written entirely in their mother-tongue, the two Northern Germans alchemically distil campfire romance, wanderlust, greed and love, melancholy, a thirst for revenge, and apocalyptic anger into pure gold.
