German folk metal/medieval rock formation Subway To Sally released the first single and video for the title track of their upcoming album, Post Mortem, which will be released on 20 December via Napalm Records. Those thought to be dead live longer—and German folk metal masters Subway To Sally prove this on their 15th studio album.
"Post Mortem" unleashes captivating energy that has drawn in fans and critics alike for over three decades. The significant title reflects the band's spirit: life is celebrated despite all obstacles and the notion of mortality. With lyrics that invite the Grim Reaper to join at the table and face life's challenges with a wink, Subway To Sally calls on listeners to embrace the unknown and make the best out of the time we are given – so raise your glass to an unbreakable zest for life.
The band comments: "Some songs write themselves. Our band has been around for thirty years; we've been through thick and thin together! Death has knocked on our door several times, at least metaphorically speaking. COVID, then our resurgence with the last album Himmelfahrt: we're simply not to be silenced and nowhere near quiet yet – folk, rock, raw, defiant, and unmistakably Subway To Sally; that's the song 'Post Mortem.'"
Subway To Sally skillfully explores this tension between past, future, and present, art and political reality with their music, making it clear with the upcoming album, Post Mortem, that they are more alive than ever before. The band adds: "In this world of contradictions and changes, finding a voice seems difficult. But upon closer inspection, one finds parallels in history and art. What do Putin and Nero, Oppenheimer and Prometheus have in common? What rises from the ashes of Rome? Does history truly repeat itself – once as tragedy, the other time as farce?"
