Berlin’s heavy instrumental band, neànder, is gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated new studio album “III”, set to hit the shelves on November 8th, 2024, via Through Love Records.
Offering a taste of what’s to come, neànder has unveiled their first single, “Ultra”, accompanied by a visually captivating music video directed by Alex Kraudelt (Frameshock Productions), now available for viewing below.
Neànder’s musical prowess speaks volumes as guitarists Jan Korbach, Michael Zolkiewicz, and Patrick Zahn, alongside drummer Flo Häuser, communicate eloquently through their instruments.
The allure of the new single, “Ultra”, is evident from the start, with a juxtaposition of a calm-sounding piano intro played by Konrad Betcher (Minneapolis) swiftly evolving into a forceful blend of captivating riffs and melodies, akin to the ebb and flow of a turbulent sea. The sheer intensity of the majestic riff in “Ultra” truly embodies the essence of neànder.
Guitarist Jan Korbach reflects on the distinctive neànder sound, stating: “There is now a neànder sound. I already notice it with the first idea for a new song. Something grabs me suddenly, I grab the guitar, and it becomes clear: This is neànder”!
The forthcoming album “III” promises a heavier, more melodic, and colorful musical exploration, available in various formats including Vinyl, CD, and digital. Featuring cover art by Berlin-based artist Fabian Warnsing, the album shows again an exciting collaboration between Fine Arts and Alternative Music.
“III” will be coming out on November 8th, 2024, via Through Love Records and is available for pre-order here.
