Das Schweizer Black-Metal-Duo ERNTE hat die Veröffentlichung seines kommenden Albums „Weltenzerstörer“ sowie die Veröffentlichung eines Videos zu ihrer ersten Single „Ruler of Chaos, Bringer of Storm“ angekündigt. Das Album soll am 7. Juni über Vendetta Records erscheinen.Nach den beiden Vorgängeralben der Band („Geist und Hexerei“ / „Albsegen“) stellt „Weltenzerstörer“ eine Weiterentwicklung des früheren Schaffens von ERNTE dar, betont dessen melodische und atmosphärische Elemente und bleibt dabei seinen Black-Metal-Ursprüngen treu.
ERNTE about the upcoming album, its aesthetics and meaning:
"The cover was created by a graphic designer we came across on social media. His image immediately appealed to us and, in our eyes, fits the album title perfectly: Next to the sea monster, the 'world destroyer', the few humans seem tiny and almost disappear. This world destroyer is also conjured up in a satanic ritual in the form of Leviathan in our first single/video 'Ruler of Chaos, Bringer of Storm', for example.
But Weltenzerstörer ('world destroyer') doesn't just mean the destruction of our earth - the plural 'worlds' is a deliberate choice. The world of sick thoughts. The world of false feelings. The world of consumption, or the world of manipulation. The world of religions, which we all deeply despise.
Weltenzerstörer is not a concept album, yet it can be said in general that the lyrics on the album embody a misanthropic attitude. It is about consciously chosen loneliness and the search for a higher meaning. But it is also an invocation of ancient powers and spirits in order to create new ones with the destruction of today's sick world(s) and to give nature more space again."

"Ruler of Chaos, Bringer of Storm" is a satanic ritual in which Leviathan is conjured up," the band comments. "He is the ruler of chaos, the bringer of storms, he embodies the destructive power of water. But when one world is destroyed, a new one is created."
