Danish Blackened Death juggernaut Lotan unleash their searing new single and official video, Righteous Fury – a firestorm of blast beats, razor-edged tremolo riffs, and guttural proclamation.
More than just a song, Righteous Fury is a warning: a grim echo from a world on the brink, where division and hatred threaten to ignite global catastrophe. With unrelenting aggression and a burning sense of urgency, Lotan channel their trademark fusion of nihilism, fury, and sharp social critique into this devastating track. In the chorus, the ancient term Yetzer Hara resounds – a reminder of mankind’s innate pull toward destruction. If we do not break the cycle, we will become the spark. Righteous Fury marks the first glimpse into Lotan’s upcoming album, Yetzer Hara, set for release on August 15th. While details remain under wraps until this Friday, the band promises nothing less than a scorched-earth continuation of their uncompromising vision. This is not escapism. This is resistance. In the name of distortion.
With Yetzer Hara, Lotan unleash a searing new chapter of blackened death metal – furious, unrelenting, and razor-sharp in its intent. Forged in the fires of Denmark’s extreme metal underground, Lotan deliver a blistering fusion of blackened death metal and social defiance. Inspired by the likes of Behemoth, Hate, Mgla, and Anaal Nathrakh, the band blends nihilism and aggression with a confrontational critique of modern decay. Yetzer Hara is not just an album: it is a reckoning. Drawing from the biblical tale of Cain and Abel, Lotan delve into the destructive
urges that define humanity’s fall from grace, invoking themes of internal conflict, moral collapse, and primal violence.
« Our sound is a weapon – forged in fury, aimed at the puppeteers who thrive on division and decay”, the band states. Across the album’s brutal compositions and incendiary lyrics, Lotan channel raw emotion into resistance – fierce, articulate, and uncompromising. On stage, their live shows are no mere performance, but a total sensory assault: immersive, volatile, and unforgettable. Lotan aren’t just playing music – they’re igniting a movement. « This is not escapism. This is resistance. In the name of distortion”.
Yetzer Hara will be released digitally on August 15th 2025, via Emanzipation Productions.
