Advocatus Dei
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.
