Seasons in Black - Anthropocene (2025) Hi-Res

Formed in 1996 deep in the Bavarian Forest, Seasons In Black have carved out their own unmistakable path through nearly three decades of metal evolution. Originally emerging from the underground as a black metal project, the band has grown into a unique force blending elements of death metal, gothic, hardcore, groove and doom into what they now call Doomcore - a sound marked by brooding melodies, punishing riffs and raw emotional weight.

Fronted by the multifaceted Lucki Maurer – known to many as a TV chef, author and Wagyu breeder, but to the metal world as a relentless vocalist and bassist – Seasons In Black have stormed everything from underground clubs to major festival stages. Their live shows are pure energy, channeling the experience of countless gigs at home and abroad into every performance.

The band’s long-standing lineup - Lucki Maurer (vocals/bass), Roman Adam (guitar), Harald Hemauer (drums) and Markus Neumeier (keys/vocals) - was reinvigorated in 2021 with the addition of lead guitarist Leon Hanff. With this renewed fire, Seasons In Black are entering what they proudly call their “third spring.”

Now, as part of the Apostasy Records roster, they are preparing to unleash their most ambitious work yet: "Anthropocene", arriving in summer 2025. The album promises a bold evolution of their signature sound and features guest appearances by Michael Rhein (In Extremo), Michelle Darkness (End Of Green) and even the first-ever metal performance by Hannes Ringlstetter.
