SCHATTENMANN strike back with the release of the official music video for their new single “Kamikaze”. The track is taken from the upcoming studio album Endgegner, set for release on March 13 via PERCEPTION – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music! Sonically aggressive yet emotionally uplifting, the band once again proves they are not here to play it safe.
“Instead of destruction, this is about joy, energy, and freedom,” says vocalist Frank Herzig. “’Kamikaze’ translates to ‘divine wind.’ Our song captures the feeling of being carried by the moment, uplifted, full of energy, enjoying every second to the fullest while leaving all rules and conventions behind.”
Driven by pounding rhythms, sharp-edged guitars, and an instantly infectious chorus, “Kamikaze” shows SCHATTENMANN at their most explosive and lifeaffirming. Herzig adds: “It’s a positive, high-energy metal track where the ‘divine wind’ carries you, turning risk into euphoria. It’s about living the moment to the max. KAMIKAZE MODE ON!”

The song signals a decisive next step for the band and sets the tone for a new chapter in their musical journey. With Endgegner [German for “Final Boss”], SCHATTENMANN present themselves sharper and more focused than ever.
Produced by Henning Verlage, the album represents a clear cut and a deliberate evolution of the band’s sound. Following four studio albums and their first Top 10 chart entry with “Día de Muertos”, SCHATTENMANN continue to prove that change and progression remain at the core of their identity. Heavier, more aggressive, and unapologetically metal, Endgegner sees the band reborn in steel and fire, poised to claim their place in today’s heavy music landscape!
