DARK FORTRESS: 'Edge Of Night' Video Posted Online

February 27, 2008

"Edge of Night", the new video from the German black metal band DARK FORTRESS, can be viewed below. The song comes off the group's fifth full-length album, "Eidolon", which was released in most of Europe this week via Century Media Records

Commented guitarist V. Santura: "It's great to finally present our fans the first-ever DARK FORTRESS promo video, which should be an excellent and sophisticated alternative to all the lame clips with crappy sound that are uploaded to YouTube usually. The 'Edge of Night' clip was filmed at an abandoned church and should captivate anybody with its dark and morbid atmosphere!"

An e-card "Eidolon", can be accessed at this location.

According to a press release, "Eidolon" is the band's first effort with new vocalist Morean, who is also responsible for the intricate lyrical concept.

In its nine chapters the album describes the initiation, dehumanization and unearthly rebirth of a transcending soul by mirror magic and astral projection.

An "Eidolon" is a Greek concept of an astral double of a living being or a "mirror." The concept describes a magic mirror ritual as while a person is in a trance, the surface of the mirror is used as a gate to enter a new dimension. Three songs each form the album's three chapters:

"Eidolon" track listing (50:17):

The first three songs describe the calling of beings from the other dimension, seen from three different angles:

01. The Silver Gate (6:50)
02. Cohorror (5:37)
03. Baphomet (6:24) *

The second part is the initiation, when the astral soul is dehumanized and torn away from his earthly ties.

04. The Unflesh (5:08)
05. Analepsy (6:01)
06. Edge of Night (3:57)

The third part is the rebirth „on the other side of the mirror“.

07. No Longer Human (5:36)
08. Catacrusis (4:34)
09. Antiversum (7:22)

* Featuring guest vocals by Tom Gabriel Fischer (CELTIC FROST)

The Dark Essence Alliance tour — featuring DARK FORTRESS, HELHEIM and VULTURE INDUSTRIES — will kick off in early March.
