SANKT VELTEN - What If (Official Lyric Video 2024)

#HeavyMetal #MelodicMetal #GermanMetal #Darkness #DarknessThrash #Metal #SpeedMetal #PowerMetal #ThrashMetal

We are pleased to announce the release of the new single “What If” by SANKT VELTEN. The single is released on the 16th of August 2024, under the label SCARE RECORDS.

SANKT VELTEN remains true to its style and is best categorized as speed and power metal, with a dash of NWOBHM. “What if” impresses with driving grooves and a catchy chorus. The song deals with the dystopia in which the world could be a wonderful place, but man as the crown of creation often only brings forth war, destruction, environmental pollution and exploitation. The lyrics are inspired by the quote from Aldous Huxley: “Maybe this world is another planet's hell.”

SANKT VELTEN is the musical alter ego of Arnd, guitarist and original member of the German Essen-based thrashers DARKNESS. The SANKT VELTEN debut album “The discreet Charm of Evil”, released in 2019, has received consistently good reviews. After a five-year break due to Covid and various line-up changes that made new productions and concerts impossible, the band with Arnd and original member Eldar Ibrahimovic (War-Head) has finally found a new member. The new man on bass is none other than Thomas Becker, who is known as the bassist of the German thrashers HOLY MOSES and recorded the successful albums “The New Machine of Liechtenstein” and “World Chaos”. Thomas and SANKT VELTEN aka Arnd already know each other from the DARKNESS days, they recorded the DARKNESS album “Defenders of Justice” together. “What If” is the first single by SANKT VELTEN in the new line-up.

“The Discreet Charm of Evil” is available on Sektor 12 Web Shop as a CD format:
