NEÀNDER - Auf Achse Live 2024/25

In the organizer's words:

The new NEÀNDER single will be released on September 13. "Ultra" is also the first song from the Berlin band's new album, which will be released on November 8th, and brings together all the threads of their story so far and achieves an overwhelming clarity.

Human existence in digital times is accompanied by a constant noise of language, words and opinions. It's a cacophony, it's all too much. The more is said and written, the less is said at times.

The Berlin band NEÀNDER has no words. Instead, guitarists Jan Korbach, Michael Zolkiewicz and Patrick Zahn and drummer Flo Häuser speak through their instruments. This is not a cliché, but can be heard and felt in the new NEÀNDER single "Ultra".

"Ultra" is the first single from the third NEÀNDER album "III", which will be released in November 2024. The song begins with a melancholy, atmospheric piano that sounds almost innocent here. A storm breaks into this idyll, a martial elemental force in the form of a riff-driven wall of sound, which in turn is overlaid by a melody and alternately surges forward and recedes like a whipped-up sea. The view becomes clear and expands, the majestic riff is indeed: ultra.

Everything is now in motion, one thinks of endless landscapes and unknown worlds. NEÀNDER cannot be assigned to any genre in a meaningful way. Of course, this music is somehow post-rock, grunge, metal, prog, ambient and even pop - but at the same time it's not.

"There is now a NEÀNDER sound," says Jan Korbach. "I notice that from the very first idea for a new song. Something suddenly grabs me, I grab the guitar and it becomes clear: this is NEÀNDER!"

You might have to imagine this new NEÀNDER music a bit like "Godspeed You! Black Emperor", "Prong", "Mogwai", "Black Sabbath", "Faith No More" and "Venom" play a session together in 2024 and the result would be "Ultra", this song. "Ultra" is a song, not a track. With a chorus that you won't forget in a hurry. It's just that nobody sings it.

NEÀNDER unleash a cleansing force with "Ultra" , until this insanely physical music miraculously dispels the chaos in your head. Suddenly everything seems clear. And then it starts all over again ... Soon it will be November. It's going to be a good fall.

NEÀNDER "III" will be released on November 8th as LP, CD and digitally on Through Love Records followed by an extensive tour. (Source: Booking agency)
