Blackened death doom metal band Greh, hailing from Germany, has just released a new single today, April 1st. Mind you, it’s April’s Fool Day but this announcement is no joke, nor is the single!
Thus, the second single Illusional Cenotaph features on the album Dysphoric Devotion, which will come out in winter 2024. This track is wrapped in melancholic and very intense dark soundscapes. Moreover, it offers an ingenious mixture of atmospheric black and death metal with doom elements, that is drilling deep into the wound of the bloody senselessness of war. Holding the mirror to soldiers, it processes all the pathetic thoughts and feelings of a soldier… The one who has to go to war and knows that they will die on the battlefield. The soldiers can imagine that all their anonymous gravestones will only serve to be turned into anonymous corpses. Years later, when the war is over, only a stone cenotaph will remind them of their terrible decision. Also, of all the victims who died for a pointless cause!
Illusional Cenotaph is actually the second single out from the upcoming album, following Thy Breath Not Mine, which came out on February 2nd, as previously announced.
