German dark metal masters Nachtblut have served the second single and video, "Stirb Langsam" ("Die Slowly"), from their impending full-length, Todschick, scheduled for release on 21 February through Napalm Records.
At first glance, "Stirb Langsam" may seem like an exuberant party anthem and an ode to alcohol, but it quickly reveals itself as a sharp social critique of excessive drinking and binge culture. Despite its profound message, the track's driving rhythm, catchy chorus, and, not least, Askeroth's distinctive vocals make it irresistibly engaging.
Nachtblut on "Stirb Langsam": "The most intellectual drinking song the world has ever heard, with poetic forays into the masterpieces of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Gotthold Ephraim Lessing. And, of course, in true Nachtblut fashion, behind the apparent drunkenness lies a razor-sharp message ... Because 'Stirb Langsam' is far more than just a drinking song - it only disguises itself as one".
