About the album

"Post Mortem," the 15th studio album by German folk metal legends SUBWAY TO SALLY, explores the themes of renewal and social critique. The album opens with the explosive track "Phönix," symbolizing a creative rebirth. SUBWAY TO SALLY offers a sharp analysis of current societal issues without moralizing, drawing on themes from history and mythology. Tracks like "Wunder," "Nero," and "Die Erde bebt" maintain their signature sound, combining melodic depth with lyrical intensity. Featuring collaborations with power metal acts like Warkings, songs such as "Stahl auf Stahl" bring a heavier yet harmonious touch. Despite contemplating an end to their career with their previous album, "Himmelfahrt," the overwhelming positivity from fans led to this resurgence, marked by anthems like "Unter dem Banner" and ballads such as "Herz in der Rinde." This album captures the oscillation between despair and hope in today's world, making it an authentic voice amidst chaos.
