After over two years of work we're very proud to show you the first track "Abschied" from the upcoming fourth fulllength album "Ellenbogengesellschaft". I thank you from the bottom of my heart to join us once again in this journey which started more than 10 years ago and a strong passion for extreme music. / L.G. & Ellende
The acting in this is incredible. The terror in the man's eyes when suffering an immeasurable and irreversible loss. The grief on the woman's face when realizing that this is now her burden and duty. Such a perfect encapsulation of the medical trauma forced on our decaying bodies.
Selten habe ich ein solches Ausmaß an Aussagekraft und Emotion in einem Video gesehen, noch dazu zu einem Thema dass jede Person direkt oder indirekt betreffen kann. Absolute Hochachtung dafür.
MEISTERWERK! Musikalisch, Lyrisch und Video-Technisch! Ihr schafft es immer wieder und wieder und wieder, dass ich wie ein Kind da sitze und weine. Die Schönheit der Vergänglichkeit, kann nur Ellende so gut ausdrücken. Danke für dieses Meiserwerk!
Hervorragend. Das Video ist bewegend und bildet zusammen mit dem Song große Kunst. Schwer zu verdauen, ja, doch der Preis ist künstlerisch äußerst wertvoll. Zum sterben schön.
Als jemand der in dem letzten Jahren seinen besten Freund hat Selbstmord begehen sehen , und seine eigene Mutter bis zum Ende gepflegt hat und dann beerdigt hat- kann ich Ellende für diesen (für mich) sehr emotionalen Song als auch für das Video nicht genug danken . Und ich freue mich wahnsinnig darauf euch dieses Jahr endlich mal Live zu sehen . Danke für alles ❤
This is the best song and video of 2022 for me. The song is such a powerful work and the melodies and vocals are fantastic. What really sells it are the two actors Elena and Wolfram, what brilliant and subtle acting they do.
Never have i seen someone that looks, moves and behaves so similiar to my father. (I'm refering to the part of the memories - before the downfall) The hammer didn't hit him yet - but the day for it to happen may come sooner than later. Of all the dozens of songs I encountered in my life that touched my heart and soul... this one takes the crown.
Man this hits close to home. Watching loved ones age and fade away with Alzheimer is tough. The music and this video describe this feeling perfectly. Alzheimer is a bitch. Thank you Ellende for your Art!
Ellende enttäuscht mich einfach nie. Seit ich sie kenne, ist es als würde ich in einen Spiegel blicken, der meine kaputte Seele erkennt und versteht. 🖤
Somehow the scene, when both are eating and the old man starts shaking, gives me freaking goosebumps every damn time. This is SO beautiful and welldone cinematography, combinded exeedingly well with purley great music. All in all a masterpiece, the song, the video, and both working together!
She isn't there with him in his final moments, that's a hard thing. You gave him such a beautiful place to die, and you still found the sorrow and darkness in it all, well done guys.
Beautiful, heartbreaking video. Very relatable to anyone who's had to care for a loved one developing Alzheimer's. Music sounds wonderful and compliments the video well. I've loved all the Ellende albums so far and with this as our first teaser for the new one, it sounds like it'll be another masterpiece. Well done.
Der absolute Wahnsinn! Vielen Dank an euch und Olli für dieses Meisterwerk. Ich arbeite selbst in der Geriatrie und habe dementsprechend viel mit solchen Patienten zu tun. Das geht echt nah! Weiter so und hoffentlich sieht man sich bald mal wieder ;)
Wow... ich konnte beim ersten Mal nicht sagen, ist es das Video oder die Musik, die einen so zu Tränen rühren, es ist zum einen natürlich die Mischung, aber den Ausschlag gibt definitiv dieses bombastische, emotionale und so bracchiale musikalische Meisterwerk, das von diesem berührenden Video nur noch etwas untermalt wird. Wahnsinn so tief-emotionale Kunst zu schaffen! Danke!
Absolutely powerful. The video is heartbreaking and as someone who teaches in Healthcare, it is all to relatable as I see these examples so often and the sadness that accompanies them.
I feel overwhelmed after watching this. Awesome job. Neurological disorders that make you lose your sense of self is one of the most terrifying things on earth.
The video is just devastating and heart-wrenching, but also marvelously done. And the song itself is freaking amazing. Everything fits together perfectly. Stellar job, guys!
After 3 years off not being able too see my brother in Melbourne ( I live in Perth Western Australia) because off the border closures ( Fuk Australia) he has a condition known as FND ( spending a lot off this time in self harm isolation) . It was absolutely heartbreaking, as im a 6 ft 4 ( fit 💪👍) 120 kg 45 yr old man , I absolutely broke down hard. He didn’t remember me and was constantly going in and out off fits and different personalities. Hail always Empyruim, Ellende, Paragon of Beauty, Karg, Draconian , Advast, Strid, Doomvs , Austere, WOD, HFTS, MDB and endless others for inspiring me too train & run when it’s so easy just too give up!!
I give a lot of credit to the actors for giving such an emotional performance. Starting off as a cute elderly couple but then things go wrong when illness kicks in...
It was awesome and very powerfull. I have just lost my very old grand mother three weeks ago so it's quite hard to watch, but somehow in the good way. This is life I guess. Thank you very much for that
I just lost my mother to a not-diagnosed neurological disease on March 22nd of the current year. This clip hits harder than one can imagine. The music is great and conveys perfectly the tsunami of different feelings one can be overwhelmed by: impotence, tiredness, angst, impatience, aimlessness, despair, sorrow etc merging into a very bitter salad imposible to swallow, but one must chew this until the point of nausea. I am listening to it in loop and I am glad that Black Metal (and the correlate genres) - my favorite genre(s) - are stretching towards different directions becoming the metal genre that evolved and developed the most, imo. Greetings from Paraguay and keep doing amazing, L.G. & Ellende.
I just discovered this band as I was intrigued by the artwork of this upcoming album. After listening to this song I ended up pre ordering it. This is awesome stuff.
This album came up on my spotify and instantly fell in love! The emotion and style of this video is magnificent. Real human pain and sorrow. The staggeringly beautiful landscape. The vastness of nature, both awesome and melancholy. Wonderful work.
... Beaucoup d'émotions dans cette vidéo 😱 ... Tout est parfait : l'une des rares vidéos que je connaisse qui transmette autant d'émotions (je me répète : je ne trouve pas les mots tant çà m'émeut énormément) ... Ce titre et son visuel sont justes grandioses ! ... Le "One Man Band" de Ellende mérite sa juste valeur : Fan Absolu du travail de Lukas Gosch
Simply wonderful again. This hits a whole lot of levels of feelings. Great song, very beautiful clip. Ellende as strong as always. Can't wait to see you again!!
The musical direction sounds pretty new, but executed magnificently. Can't wait to hear more from the album! Also the video is a banger, and heartwrenching indeed.
Otro excelente trabajo L.G.! desde el principio es un impactó de emociones que no termina hasta el final... El video adecuado al mensaje del tiempo, el tiempo que no espera por nadie ..... Siempre estaré agradecido por tu música ... Thank you ELLENDE... 🌿🌿🌿
I bought this album on bandcamp and Amazon. Ive been listening to black metal on and off for almost 30 years and I think this album is one of the most refreshing and provoking pieces of black metal. I am glad to see black metal progress and mature away from the overdone satanic themes or lyrics as well as being well-orchestrated and structured melodic pieces while still retaining the harshness that black metal is known for.
For me, this track is a new discovery that I will not soon forget...also because I will continue to listen to it many times. An absolute masterpiece. Even without having heard the rest of the album it is a definite value purchase. Thank you for this excellent work 🎧🎶🤟
Was ein geiler Song bekomme jedesmal eine Gänsepelle und das Video weckt Erinnerungen auf auch wenn’s hart war aber jetzt positive. Freu mich Mega auf das Album.
Ein Hammer Song und ein mehr als passendes Video 🖤 Wunderschön und zugleich so tragisch und berührend. Genialität in jeder Hinsicht und vielen Dank für diesen Tiefgang in einer Musikrichtung der man gerne nur Satanismus Hass und Krieg nachsagt.
