German metal force Schattenmann have released a music video for their new single “Schna-na-naps”. The track is the third preview of the band’s upcoming studio album “Endgegner”, set for release on March 13th, 2026, via Perception – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music.
“Schna-na-naps” hits fast and hits hard. The song blends tight electronic pulses with heavy guitar work and a hook that flips instantly from playful to explosive. What started as a spontaneous idea turned into a full metal party anthem. Thick riffs, punching beats and a chorus built to ignite crowds form the core of the track. The video boosts that energy even further, and feels like a wild night out packed into a three minute blast.
Watch the official music video for “Schna-na-naps” below.
Frontman Frank Herzig states:
“Born from a spur of the moment idea, the song sat in a drawer for years as an electro version. When our producer Henning Verlage said we should turn it into a metal track, I first thought he was crazy. That is not Schattenmann, I told myself. But the more we worked on it, the clearer it became. It fits. The song has the same good vibes as Hände hoch and it simply makes you want to go wild. Add the crushing guitars and the thick electronics and you get a mix that is unique. It is pure energy, fun and a full on party”.
With their forthcoming studio offering “Endgegner” [German for “End Boss”], Schattenmann are taking their sound to the next level: heavier, more aggressive, and unapologetically metal. Schattenmann opens the next chapter of their evolution and sets a bold statement: A band reborn in steel and fire, ready to claim their place in the modern metal scene!
