The track is taken from the band’s debut album, The Never Ending Search, available now via Wormholedeath. Watch “The Forsaken Redeemer” here: Aschen -The Forsaken RedeemerWatch this video on YouTube Inspired by the Passion of Christ, the song portrays the agony of a savior rejected and ultimately executed, using his story as a metaphor for a society that has stripped all meaning from truth itself, where any narrative can be questioned, manipulated, or erased when it conflicts with selfish interests and structures of power. Musically, the song features a slow, heavy, and repetitive riff, hypnotic guitars with subtle oriental nuances that draw the listener into a near-trance state, acoustic guitars, spoken words, and a finale that is as aggressive as it is agonizing and ecstatic—making it arguably the most ambitious and complete track on the record. The accompanying video combines public domain footage from vintage films with newly shot material, constructing a visual narrative around the song’s themes. The Never Ending Search Aschen’s The Never Ending Search explores dynamic contrasts, blending black metal with doom-laden passages, blast beats, crushing riffs, melodic textures, and emotional depth. Sung in both English and Basque, the album moves beyond traditional genre themes to explore inner conflict, societal decay, and humanity’s fractured relationship with the natural world. Its artwork, created by Mikel Telletxea, reflects this concept through an endless fingerprint-shaped labyrinth—a symbol of a search with no clear exit, both inward and outward. ▶ Stream or download: orcd.co/tnesalbum The CD edition: www.auralwebstore.com/TheNeverEndingSearch Japanese edition available August 28th Press Reception Since its release, The Never Ending Search has received widespread praise from the international metal press: “Aschen are a very great sounding modern black metal band, and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album.” — Occult Black Metal Zine “The Never Ending Search stands out as a solid debut, remarkable for both its musical approach and its conceptual ambition. Aschen embraces a vision that blends aggression, atmosphere, and reflection.” — TNT Radio Rock “It’s an album that requires multiple listens, demands your attention, and ultimately rewards you with an emotional depth few achieve these days. If this is the level of their debut album, Aschen’s future looks as bright as the darkness they cultivate.” (9.3/10) — Eternal Metal (Chile) “Nine tracks that provide a fantastic introduction to a career that shows great promise.” — Mondo Sonoro About ASCHEN Founded in 2022 by Mikel Telletxea (vocals, guitar, programming), Aschen began as a solo project before evolving into a creative partnership with the addition of bassist Atauzz (Korkut, Kurkuma, 2Sonte). The duo recorded the debut at Atala Studios in Spain, capturing the project’s raw energy with precision. The album was mastered by Toni Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, whose credits include Dimmu Borgir, Katatonia, and Kreator Connect with ASCHEN: aschen1.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/people/Aschen/61556623060502 www.youtube.com/@aschenband Wormholedeath   Share this: Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook Share on X (Opens in new window) X Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon Share on Nextdoor (Opens in new window) Nextdoor Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Pinterest Share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Tumblr Like this:Like Loading… Related

That looks really intense, I appreciate the detail in the video. The album title
sounds fascinating too.
