DER ROTE MILAN Share New Single “Où allez-vous” from Forthcoming Album Verlust!

German extreme metal collective DER ROTE MILAN unveil their haunting new single “Où allez-vous”, offering a visceral preview of their forthcoming album Verlust. Translating to “Where are you going?”, the track plunges into the rawest corners of human grief, an exploration of loss, collapse, and the desperate search for meaning in suffering.

Driven by brooding melodies and the band's signature riff-laden intensity, “Où allez-vous” portrays a figure swallowed by darkness, cowering in the void while longing for a deliverance that never arrives. The song’s suffocating opening, charged with emotional turmoil, leads into a fragile middle passage. This section opens like a wound, calm and spacious, trembling with vulnerability, before the composition descends again into its stark and devastating conclusion.

The closing line reveals the heart of the piece: the understanding that release may only be found in a complete surrender to grief itself.

Enveloped in shadow, DER ROTE MILAN are known for creating intense, melodic soundscapes inspired by the cruelty of nature, the violent histories of Central Europe, anti-religious themes, and the turmoil of inner conflict. Their music uncovers the strange beauty that flickers in moments of despair, revealing the many forms through which loss manifests.

“Où allez-vous” stands as a defining moment in the band’s body of work, emotionally exposed and musically dynamic, and serves as a powerful introduction to the world of Verlust.

DER ROTE MILAN’s new album Verlust will be released on December 12th, 2025 via Unholy Conspiracy Deathwork.
