German dark folk visionaries Vrîmuot have revealed the lovingly illustrated lyric video for their balladesque new song “Vom Traum zur Pflicht” (“From Dream to Duty”). The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming second full‑length album Lupus Viridis (The Green Wolf), which will be released on 5 December via Prophecy Productions.
With “Vom Traum zur Pflicht”, Vrîmuot continue to expand their reputation as innovators within the dark folk sphere. The song unfolds as a ritualistic journey, weaving together solemn balladry and poetic imagery. Its atmosphere evokes both intimacy and transcendence, guiding listeners through a landscape where dream and duty collide.
Mastermind Lupus Viridis explains: “The song ‘Vom Traum zur Pflicht’ is a musical journey through the fog‑shrouded realm of my own soul. Only those who are willing to descend into the depths of their own existence may embark on a path of knowledge and seek the light of truth. Only those who are willing to make sacrifices may overcome the glass mountain and triumph over themselves.”
The lyric video, illustrated with care and symbolic detail, mirrors the song’s themes of duality and transformation. Its imagery resonates with the alchemical motto “Solve et coagula” — dissolve and recombine — suggesting that death itself can be a path to reverence and love.
Dedicated to his wife and son, Viridis frames “Vom Traum zur Pflicht” as both a personal testament and a universal invocation, bridging the intimate and the mythic. More album details and previously released singles can be found over HERE and HERE. Link
