Mars launches new 'All is One' single from latest album
The German neofolk band Mars, signed to Trisol/ZaZen Sounds has a new video out, “All is One“, from their recently released album “The Dark River” (2024) which was recorded between 2017 and 2024.
Named after the Roman god of war, the German apocalytic folk duo formed in 2011 and released three key albums: “Blood is the Food of the Gods” (2014), “The Seeker” (2017) and “The Dark River” (2024).
Musically the duo mixes acoustic guitar, percussion, exotic instruments, noisy elements and two vocals. Indebted to the British apocalyptic folk of the 1990s, we also find elements of occult and shamanic ritual music, Americana folk, as well as occasional doom and black metal riffs.
Good to know, Marcus S. previously founded the band :Golgatha: (2005-2012, Athanor/Cold Meat Industry/Trisol), while Oliver F. also runs his atmospheric black metal project Vinur (also on ZaZen Sounds).
Below is a medley of the “The Dark River” album.
