Did you watch the video for the new Lantlos single »Solar Death«? It’s the second advance track from the German alternative metal band’s new album »Nowhere In Between Forever«, out on April 3, 2026.
“The track »Solar Death« orbits around the power of the sun,” mastermind Markus Skye states. “It’s a thick, distorted. and dreamy wall of sound, drawing equally from 90s aesthetics and several musical influences such as doom, drone, and shoegaze. In a way, it can be seen as a successor to the concept of ‘Melting Sun’ with its sense of childhood summer nostalgia. Yet it sounds and feels less organic, less ‘honey and bees’, and comes with a rather synthetic aura – a psychedelic vision of a sublime digital heaven.”
Lantlôs capture ‘The Unfathomable Lightness of Being’ like hardly any other band that started out under the influence of black metal at what now feels like a million years earlier. On their sixth studio album, »Nowhere In Between Forever«, mastermind and sole musician Markus Skye (formerly known as Markus Siegenhort aka Herbst) takes the general direction of its predecessor »Wildhund« (“Wild Dog”) at least one step further.
»Nowhere In Between Forever« offers a spiritual trip into the glittering world of the 90’s, when everything seemed somehow easy and possible. The album offers a collection of hit songs that are rooted in the current Lantlôs sound, to which it adds elements from the digital sonic sphere that started to expand drastically during the final decade of the last millennium. On the other hand, it would be doing this album massive injustice to view it as pure nostalgia. As Skye notes, there is a hollow plastic feeling that is deliberately built into »Nowhere In Between Forever« and subtly casts a foreboding shadow of darker times to come. These musical plot-twists connect the easy-going, seemingly sunny and even poppy alternative rock and metal tracks to the black past of Lantlôs.
With »Nowhere In Between Forever«, Lantlôs confirm both the stylistic trajectory taken with the last two albums and their remarkable ability to create captivating tunes and beautiful melodies with a nearly frightening ease. Trigger warning: »Nowhere In Between Forever« contains only beautiful killers and no fillers!
