After their triumphant return with the Eiszeit album in late 2024, German goth/rock band Advocatus Dei has released the single "Land," which expands on their previous sound through rich textures and emotive lyrics by Anja. The single, available as a free download on Bandcamp, includes distinct mixes—Wasserturm and Kosmonauten—that explore new sonic territories. Eiszeit, their first album since 2006’s Sternenmarsch, marks a significant evolution from their earlier identity as Advocatus Diaboli. Additionally, a remix of their track "Acaso el Viento" by Argentinian band Amautica is set to drop on May 16.
How do you think the evolution of a band’s identity influences their artistic direction and the reception of their music over time?
