Formed in the Bavarian foothills when the second wave of black metal had grotesquely clawed out of the grave and into the unforgiving light, Dark Fortress benefitted from the rotten fruits of right place and right time. Like their black metal peers across Europe, the Germans were a product of a historically mystical environment—imbued consciously or not—and a ritualistically inspired musical movement, and fans, eager to experience their otherworldly din, poured unwavering praise on debut album, “Tales from Eternal Dusk”.
For the past two decades, Dark Fortress
have gone from strength to strength.
Across six full-lengths, the Landshut-based sextet stretched the boundaries ofm black metal, while remaining pure to the tenets of a genre that pivoted (and continues to do so) solely around the axisof the dark and all that resides hideously inside of it.
Despite spirited attempts throughout the aughts to plague mankind, "Venereal Dawn" took four grueling years to unfurl out of Dark Fortress.
The group’s seventh full-length is both a continuation and discontinuation of predecessor “Ylem”.
On the grimy skin of things, it’s very much recognizable as Dark Fortress.
As with previous full-lengths, there is no middle ground on “Venereal Dawn”.
There is no compromise. But there’s uncharted territory on display as well.
In Dark Fortress’s none-blacker hearts, they’ve branched out, explored, and come back from their journey changed men.
In the year 2019, the new version mixed and remastered of the album called "Stab Wounds" out in November
Now they come back with the new full lenght album Spectres From The Old World.
After this last full lenght album, they split up after the Farewell Tour in the 2023.
