Schattenmann usher in the new year with the release of "Endgegner", the title track from their upcoming studio album set for release on 13 March 2026 via Perception.
With "Endgegner" (German for "Final Boss"), Schattenmann present themselves sharper and more focused than ever. The track blends German-language metal with pronounced core elements, driven rhythms, and an unapologetic attitude. Crushing riffs, a powerful groove, and a commanding chorus turn the song into a statement piece that reflects both intensity and confidence.
As frontman Frank Herzig reveals, "This song was my ultimate final boss! Never before has a track driven me so crazy, challenged me so much, and demanded so much from me. In the entire history of Schattenmann, there hasn't been a song that required so many versions and attempts. In the end, I am incredibly proud of it – especially because the path to the finished song was so rocky and because it offers so much both musically and lyrically. It grabs you immediately and doesn't let go until the very end: hard, loud, emotional."
