Derherold: “Arcanum I Rage” Digipack CD and Digital 7th March 2025 Fastball Music. German / Switzerland Heavy Metal band.
Surprising cover artwork, with only the name of the band. It’s like a mummy is screaming—a project like Opera Rock. the first album to be from several following the concept and story. A musical journey connecting the artistic way, musical albums, videos, and a comic book with tarot cards.
It’s a complete package the fans must go through to dive into Olav Daumling‘s art. It happens when a musician plays in movies; here, it’s like a theater play stuck to music. The band must have a great set on stage. Imagine the Pink Floyd Movie. It is in the same vein but with Rock and Heavy Metal music among an Opera singer.
While you can listen and appreciate the album with images in your mind, watching the videos will help you get more in-depth with Derherold ‘s music. The lucky ones will also get a limited comic book.
Have a taste:
Influences: Chris Holmes, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, Ozzy Osbourne, Arapacis, Pink Floyd, and many more.
Fourteen tracks with a speaking intro to one song, each one has a mood following the character and his story. The opera female voice is sometimes in the background like a veil, sometimes it is more present. This is also Seraina Schopfer (Green Labyrinth, Dreams in Fragments) singing as a guest on one song.
This weird journey is set into the bisard world where music and theater blend into a magic poetic universe called art. This is what makes Derherold a complete and unique band.
An Epic Rock Metal project to follow without hesitation 100/100.
