DAUÞUZ

Today, Amor Fati Productions announces April 30th as the international release date for Dauþuz‘s highly anticipated fifth album, Uranium, on CD and vinyl LP formats. The band will be self-releasing the cassette tape version on the same date.

Since their bolt-from-the-blue debut In finstrer Teufe in 2016, Germany’s Dauþuz have created a rich and vibrant catalog. Their black metal is proud and purist but by no means blinkered; the ancient ways are revered, for sure, but new vistas of the imagination open up when Dauþuz commit their stories to tape. And those stories largely focus on mining, both across their native land and the whole of Europe, further enriching their olde-worlde appeal.

Now, two years after the special Vom schwarzen Schmied: Bergkgesænge – a clean-vocalled version of their widely celebrated fourth album, 2021’s Vom schwarzen Schmied – along comes new curses from the Dauþuz mine in Uranium. Tellingly titled, Uranium deals with a relatively young and destructive area of mining: the former uranium mining in East German areas. From the dangerous mining under the pressure of the Soviets to the radiant, deadly harvest of what was created, the titular Uranium spreads wide a dread landscape full of despair both sonic and spiritual. Despite the seeming “newness” of subject matter, Dauþuz sound as olde-worlde as ever with their characteristic Mining Black Metal, indeed mining amongst deeper and more ancient caverns of sound and texture; uncompromising and epic and especially melodic, here do the duo exude a desperation (or at least passion) that harkens back to their very earliest roots, with the oft-piercing vocals in particular raising the hackles and firmly driving the point home that Uranium is deadly, deadly business.

Rarely does an aesthetic stay so firmly etched yet yield consistently compelling sagas as it does with Dauþuz. Radiate to the eerie glow of Uranium!

In the meantime, hear the brand-new track “Wüst die Heimat” here:

Cover and tracklisting are as follows:

Today, Amor Fati Productions announces April 1st as the international release date for a special version of Dauþuz‘s acclaimed fourth album, hereby titled Vom schwarzen Schmied: Bergkgesænge, on CD format. The tape version will be released by Helhallen Tonträger. 

Since their bolt-from-the-blue debut In finstrer Teufe in 2016, Germany’s Dauþuz have created a rich and vibrant catalog. Their black metal is proud and purist but by no means blinkered; the ancient ways are revered, for sure, but new vistas of the imagination open up when Dauþuz commit their stories to tape. And those stories largely focus on mining, both across their native land and the whole of Europe, further enriching their olde-worlde appeal.

Late last year, Dauþuz released their masterful fourth album, Vom schwarzen Schmied, once again via the auspices of Amor Fati. Translated into English as “Of the Blacksmith,” Vom schwarzen Schmied was arguably the band’s most focused recording to date, evincing a totality that could only come from Dauþuz. While an all-consuming darkness and lyrical despair characterized the record, its utterly epic landscape and absolutely invigorating melodicism made Vom schwarzen Schmied a paradoxically “uplifting” experience, fully bringing to life the saga of the blacksmith.

And the mining blacksmith seems to be a revenant – and once again, he returns to tell the story in a musically different version. During the recordings of Vom schwarzen Schmied, the idea arose among the duo of Dauþuz to re-record the vocals in their entirety: completely clean, with additional choir passages and keyboards, but also the whole sound, mix, and mastering was reworked. From the perpetual darkness of the Dauþuz pit, a somewhat-different yet still-solid chunk of Mining Black Metal now appears, bearing the title Vom schwarzen Schmied: Bergkgesænge. Truly its brother album’s equal, Vom schwarzen Schmied: Bergkgesænge both re-affirms and expands the band’s brilliant cosmology, striking ever deeper into the past but always with an undeniably refreshing air…straight from the deepest mines, of course. Taste the German steel of MINING BLACK METAL, now in a cleaner & more choral constitution!

Begin tasting that cleaner & more choral German steel – and seeing it before your very eyes – with a special video for the re-recorded version of “Der Bergschmied II: Der Eid” here:

Today, Amor Fati Productions sets November 12th as the international release date for Dauþuz‘s highly anticipated fourth album, Vom schwarzen Schmied, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Since their bolt-from-the-blue debut In finstrer Teufe in 2016, Germany’s Dauþuz have created a rich and vibrant catalog.

And those stories largely focus on mining, both across their native land and the whole of Europe, further enriching their olde-worlde appeal.

Now, more than a year after the expansive mini-album Grubenfall 1727, a new work echoes from the depths of the underworld: a new full-length saga from Dauþuz, bearing the title Vom schwarzen Schmied. Translated into English as “Of the Blacksmith,” Vom schwarzen Schmied is arguably the band’s most focused recording to date, evincing a totality that can only come from Dauþuz All-consuming darkness and lyrical despair, which ultimately leads to fatal realization, characterize this fourth full-length from the mining black metallers. And yet, its utterly epic landscape and absolutely invigorating melodicism make Vom schwarzen Schmied a paradoxically “uplifting” experience, fully bringing to life the saga of the blacksmith, an old acquaintance from the Dauþuz universe. And nearly topping an hour in length only serves to make that experience all the more engrossing: the band’s dazzling interplay, in turn, renders the album a swift ‘n’ masterful display of their songwriting prowess. Taste the German steel of MINING BLACK METAL!

Begin tasting that German steel with the brand-new track “Der Bergschmied II: Der Eid” here:
