TEASER: DØDSFERD - “Restoration of Justice” video…coming soon

February 9, 2024
As the twelfth album from Greek underground black metal legions Dødsferd fast approaches, we are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of a video clip for the opening track “Restoration of Justice”, created by Mick Alexandrakis (Black Screen - Graphic Arts). 



“Restoration of Justice” deals with the ineptitude and corruption of the Greek state while dealing with catastrophic natural disasters, police brutality, and its backing of colonial geo-political projects. All of this will become apparent when the video premieres, shortly on Friday February 23, 2024!!

Named after the Werner Herzog movie by the same name, last seen by Joy Division’s leader Ian Curtis before committing suicide, stroszek was formed by Frostmoon Eclipse guitarist Claudio Alcara in 2006.

Aiming to go in a country\folk direction after years in the extreme metal world, stroszek could be described as “richly melodic, hauntingly melancholic, and at times, a crushingly sad commentary on innermost thoughts and life experiences”, or ‘long drives along deserted highways with jus...
