German dark rock/NDH/metal band Erdling reveals last single and video, "Steh den Sturm", from the upcoming album, Mana, which will be released on 17 October via Out Of Line Music. With their seventh studio album, Erdling opens a bold new chapter: Mana is a musical ritual, a sonic testament to the ancient, shaping energy that lies within each of us - raw, untamed, and ready to be unleashed.
Eleven brand-new songs, self-produced, mixed and mastered at the renowned Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, merge relentless guitar walls with atmospheric depth and a lyrical message that resonates with the present: it is up to us to recognise our potential and shape our own path.
Mana brings together all the core elements and emotions that have defined Erdling's sound for over a decade: uncompromising heaviness, reflective melodies, spiritual depth, and anthemic strength. This is Erdling in pure form, and a courageous step beyond familiar borders.
The video for "Steh den Sturm" was done by Neill Freiwald. Inspired by classic anime aesthetics, this video was shaped through handmade storyboarding, original concepts, editing, visual effects and post-production in over 60 hours. Niji (AI) was used for complex animations and b-roll. The video is right below, and if you've missed it, over HERE you can listen to the previously released "Los Los Los". Link

"Goth people want to have fun sometimes too. I guess if your listening time is 99% dark, sad songs or evil black metal songs, sometimes you want 1% joy, and here I come." - Franck Hueso
"When you feel something you need to share, creating songs is the best way to do it. You can reflect on yourself so that you can relax and be relieved of that emotion." - Çağla Güleray
"I don't tend to judge people, but I do judge them if they're too lazy to engage in independent thought or if they're simply careless and don't consider the consequences..." - Sven Friedrich
