Irony over their chosen moniker aside, German death metal outfit Endseeker are officially winding it down with the upcoming June 19th release of their self-produced farewell EP, “Coffin Born“. Metal Blade Records will be handling the release of that effort, with a video for the new single “Enemies Of Peace” from it having just gone up.
They’re not riding off into the sunset without explanation however, as they had the following to say about opting to call it quits after a dozen years:
“We’ve accomplished more than we have ever imagined in our wildest dreams. We played with fantastic bands, played super-cool festivals, and released four albums and two EPs of which we are extremely proud. We were blessed with great and loyal fans and managed to stay a consistent lineup throughout our whole career.
But after grinding for more than a decade and dedicating so much time and energy to this band, we feel like it’s time to move on to other projects. We wanted to end this band like we started – as very good friends. We started with an EP and we end it with an EP. It just feels right to do this now, while we still have the power to deliver a great farewell performance as well in the studio as on stage.”
As for what they conjured up on this first single from their swan song effort, the band offered:
“This is a straight banger with some hardcore and crust vibes. This song grooves like hell and has a very raw and kinda punk attitude. Not only the anti-fascist lyrics, but also musically. It’s very powerful by any means with a strong and bold message.”
