With their new single and video »Questions We Raise«, German post-rock outfit Bruecken make a powerful statement ahead of their upcoming album »Years That Answer«, due February 27, 2026 via Moment Of Collapse Records.

Stream »Questions We Raise« HERE.

Bordering the realms of post-metal and post-hardcore, »Questions We Raise« captures the band at their most urgent and reflective. As Everything Is Noise puts it, the track is “energetic and introspective in equal measure,” with subtle synthetic elements adding striking depth and color. It’s a song that pulses with tension, emotion, and intent – cementing Bruecken as a band ready to be reckoned with.

The single also sets the tone for »Years That Answer«, Bruecken’s third full-length and most ambitious release to date. Inspired by Zora Neale Hurston’s line “There are years that ask questions, and years that answer,” the album confronts a world shaped by climate crisis, war, and rising authoritarianism, asking how hope can survive – and transform – in turbulent times.

For the first time since their 2017 EP, Bruecken reintroduce vocals into their sound: from the solitary voice of guitarist and singer Thorge Freidel on »Periapsis« to the powerful choral finale »Signs Of Spring«, featuring the Emden Kneipenchor. The band’s sonic evolution is further driven by the addition of Bernd Frikke (MMTH), whose synths and electronic textures expand Bruecken’s emotional and musical range.

Recorded across Berlin and Oldenburg, mastered by Magnus Lindberg (Cult Of Luna, Russian Circles, Refused), »Years That Answer« balances crushing heaviness with fragile, atmospheric depth. Moving confidently beyond genre conventions, Bruecken forge a distinct, immersive sound – one that doesn’t just ask questions, but demands to be felt.
