THE VERY END: New Song Available For Streaming

December 18, 2010

"The Leper", a brand new song from German metallers THE VERY END, can be streamed using the audio player below (courtesy of AOL's Noisecreep). The track comes off the band's sophomore album, "Mercy & Misery", which is scheduled for release on January 14, 2011 in Germany, January 17 in the rest of Europe and January 25 in the U.S. via SPV (E1 Music in the U.S.). The CD was produced by THE VERY END and Waldemar Sorychta (SENTENCED, SODOM, TIAMAT, LACUNA COIL) and features cover artwork by Björn Goosses (THE VERY END vocalist) of Killustrations.

"'The Leper' is like a German thrash metal tank," Goosses told Noisecreep, "an ultimately heavy mid-tempo groover, combined with a subtle BLACK SABBATH theme in the chorus guitars."

Goosses continued, "Lyric-wise, this song deals with an obvious dead-end road you still want to follow, even if you know it won't be for good, turning you into a kind of leprous outcast."

Drummer Lars Janosch recently left THE VERY END "due to changes in his private life" and was replaced by Daniel Zeman (ENEMY OF THE SUN).

A photo of the band's new lineup, taken on the set of the video shoot for the song "A Hole In The Sun", can be viewed below.

Commented Janosch: "Due to private reasons, I won't be able to play with
