Austrian folk black metal collective Perchta has unleashed the second single and video, "Hebamm" (Midwife), from its impending second album, D'muata (The Mother), set for release on 14 June via Prophecy Productions.
Perchta's frontwoman Frau Percht reveals: "The song 'Hebamm' was created in a songwriting process that lasted several days on a mountain pasture in the middle of the beautiful, inspiring nature of the Tyrolean mountains alongside other tracks. The ambivalence of the challenges of the midwife profession are particularly emphasised in the sometimes calm, harmonious 3-part vocal passages, and the energetic guitar riffs. Full of pride, 'Hebamm' was performed for the first time in Austria in front of friends, family and midwife colleagues at the 'House of the Holy' 2023 and captured on film for this moving moment never to be forgotten".
