The world is at a turning point. Uncertainty and fear dominate our sense of time, while humanity is losing touch with nature and itself. Schrotthagen captures this atmosphere – with nostalgia, romanticism, and a longing for a world that may soon cease to exist. Their new album is a reflection on destruction and rebirth, on the social life we must relearn. Musically, it's a journey through decades, a homage to the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, wrapped in a cinematic soundscape of techno, trance, and cinematic elements. Influences from pop culture, orchestral drama, and pulsating club sounds merge into a unique experience – the typical Schrotthagen sound design, this time more precise, more epic, and with an even stronger common thread.

The album follows a unique release strategy: each single tells a part of the story – both musically and visually.

• March 22 – First single
• April 24 – Second single
• May 30 – Third Single
• July 11 – Fourth single
• August 15 – Album release with focus track & music video

A short film was shot for each single released, continuing the story of the first Schrotthagen video. On August 15, everything culminates in the grand finale: a lavishly produced music video that forms the narrative and visual framework of the album. The film production was once again realized by a star team of Grimme Award, German Camera Award, and German Film Award winners.

The album explores pain, loneliness, love, longing, and fear of the future. A special moment: the outro, "The End Is Near," which confronts us with the question of what we are already increasingly losing.

In addition to long-time collaborators like Katharina Stark (known from the hit single "Pain in My Heart") and Cheriimoya (Living Life in the Night), there's another special voice this time: singer-songwriter Noah Umali, whose vocals bring additional emotional depth to the album. There's also a new addition: Giovanni, the producer behind Schrotthagen, sings on several tracks himself.
