SUBWAY TO SALLY have released the moving ballad “Herz in der Rinde” today, taken from their 15th studio album, Post Mortem, which will be released tomorrow via Napalm Records. The pioneers of German folk metal reveal a melancholic side, telling a story of love, loss, and memories. The poetic lyrics merge with the band’s signature folk sound, accompanied by a stirring melody that explores the pain of a love that once seemed eternal but has since faded. The haunting imagery of the carved heart and the finality of loss make this song a deeply emotional highlight, building up with a powerful arrangement into an intense soundscape that culminates in a monumental conclusion.
To celebrate the release of Post Mortem, SUBWAY TO SALLY are currently on their annual “Eisheilige Nacht” tour. They are joined by their labelmates, the ferocious power metal band Warkings – who collaborated with SUBWAY TO SALLY on the previous single “Stahl auf Stahl” – as well as the Irish folk punk band The O’Reillys & The Paddyhats and the German folk metal band Harpyie. Don’t miss out on this spectacle – grab your tickets now!
SUBWAY TO SALLY on their new single:
“´Herz in der Rinde´ is a song our fans will love – it’s quintessentially us. Grand melodies, folk and violin sounds, lutes, paired with Eric’s initially balladic vocals, collide with heavy metal guitars during the merciless finale of the story and the song. A piece like a great movie – that was our goal, and we are incredibly proud of the result!”
