VARG, Germany’s top-notch pagan metal force, returns stronger than ever on their new album, entitled Ewige Wacht (Engl. Eternal Vigil), to be released on October 13, 2023 via Napalm Records. Today, the wolves prove their standing as a firmly rooted, leading entity in the scene once more by unleashing the brand-new single Eisenseite, cut from the new offering. After dropping the first single, Immer Treu, Eisenseite is another powerful hymn that showcases how much singer Fylgja has been involved in the full album this time. Her Valkyrie-like singing expands the band’s sonic spectrum and forms a perfectly harmonizing contrast to Freki’s razor-sharp screams and growls.
Accompanied by a matching music video, the song transports Nordic mythology as well as values like honesty and loyalty, which also symbolizes the album as a whole.
VARG on Eisenseite: “A hymn to bravery and the determination to fight for what is important to you, even when it seems hopeless. It is not our blood that ennobles us, it is our soul, the way we live our lives towards others and our attitude that makes us honourable and great.”
