Spanish industrial metal band Hasswut has released its new single and video, "Sauerstoff". The single is from their forthcoming full-length, Sauerstoff, which will be released via Negative Gain Productions on 25 April. It is recommended to fans of Combichrist, Turmion Kätilöt, Nachtmahr, and OOMPH!
The song represents a call to breathe, to recover the air that life takes from us daily, often preventing us from lifting our heads and moving forward. These Spanish electro-metalheads are back to restore that breath, reigniting the fire within us with their powerful sound and relentless energy.
The video for "Sauerstoff" powerfully portrays the suffocating cycle of daily life—how we often become our worst enemies, trapping ourselves in an endless loop of pressure and oppression. It’s a raw and intense visual journey of inner struggle, building up to a breaking point where we finally explode, rise, and take a deep breath—breaking free from the darkness that once held us captive. "Sauerstoff" isn’t just a music video; it’s an experience. It's a gripping reflection of our fight for air, for clarity, and for freedom. Watch it now and feel the weight lift.
Hasswut is more than just music; it is an audiovisual experience. Their aesthetic is inspired by science fiction, post-apocalyptic culture, and themes of rebellion against the system. On stage, they combine dark lighting and futuristic costumes to create an immersive show. Link
