Following the acclaimed success of their comeback album Eiszeit (October 2024), German gothic rock veterans Advocatus Dei are back with brand-new music. The band released a new single, "Land". It's a powerful track that deepens their signature intensity while boldly venturing into new sonic territory.
"Land" is available in three versions: the original track, alongside two dynamic reinterpretations — the Wasserturm Mix and the more electronic Kosmonauten Mix. The original version delivers heavy guitars and a dark, driving atmosphere, while the Wasserturm Mix shifts focus to a deep, earthy bassline, bringing a raw new texture to the song. Meanwhile, the Kosmonauten Mix reimagines "Land" with electronic elements, guiding listeners through an otherworldly soundscape.
True to form, Advocatus Dei continues to craft powerful, emotional compositions paired with thought-provoking lyrics that challenge perceptions and inspire reflection. Building on the enthusiastic reception of Eiszeit, "Land" marks the next step in the band's creative evolution - a testament to their versatility and fearless spirit.
With "Land", Advocatus Dei opens a bold new chapter in their journey: dark, intense, and brimming with energy. Link

"Art isn't meant to always be pretty and make us feel comfortable and good about ourselves. I'm not afraid to broach difficult emotions and to express the beautiful ones too." - Martin Saint
"All of us want to bring back analogue methods—doing everything by hand. AI is completely outside our creative universe. It's a system designed to make things easier and faster." - Andy Julia
"We were kind of exploring dark subject matters and darker sounds. I really like that, and this is the direction we are going right now." - Larissa Vale
"It's a dark album. According to me, it's the darkest yet in our discography. It's also very suggestive, very introverted, less direct, and might be less friendly..." - Daniel Moilanen
