German Gothic rock band Advocatus Dei will independently release their new single “Land” on May 9, 2025. The announcement follows their comeback album “Eiszeit”, released in October 2024.

“Land” will be issued in three versions: the original track, the Wasserturm Mix, and the Kosmonauten Mix. The original version features “heavy guitars and a dark, driving mood” so the band’s label Aenaos Records says. The Wasserturm Mix adds a deep bassline and the Kosmonauten Mix introduces electronic elements.

Downloads will be available through the band’s official channels.

About Advocatus Dei

Advocatus Dei is a gothic rock band from Germany, formed in the early 1990s. The group first gained recognition with their debut album “Morgenröte” in 1995, followed by the 1997 release “Seelenschmerz”.

After several more releases and lineup changes, the band went on hiatus in the early 2000s.

In October 2024, they returned with their comeback album “Eiszeit“. Their latest single “Land” continues their dark and atmospheric sound, blending heavy guitars with electronic elements.

The current line-up features Tom on vocals, guitars, composing, lyrics, and arrangement, and Chris on bass, rhythm, arrangement, and editing. They occasionally collaborate with guest vocalist Anja.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
