Das Ich, a key player in the gothic/industrial scene, returns with renewed energy, releasing the single "Brutus" from their upcoming album Fanal. This track, following "Lazarus," reinterprets the historical figure of Brutus not as a traitor, but as a representation of Caesar’s own arrogance, illustrating the perverse nature of power and self-destruction. Fanal, set for release on Halloween, will also feature a deluxe version with additional mixes. After a long hiatus due to health issues, Das Ich’s return promises to re-engage fans with their distinctive "New German Death Art" style.
How do you think the themes of betrayal and self-destruction in "Brutus" resonate with contemporary societal issues?
