The Danish black metal duo ANGSTSKRÍG released the third single ‘Luk Dine Øjne’ (Close Your Eyes’) from its sophomore album ‘Angstkrig’ set for a March 31st release. ‘Luk Dine Øjne’ features guitarist Nils Courbaron from Sirenia. The song and video deals with in general with stress and anxiety as a part of the album theme, and specifically the blessing and curse of AI technology and its potential influence on the human mind.

ANGSTSKRÍG elaborates on the theme and video:
“Like robots are taking over manual labor, AI will gradually take over thinking. This is both a blessing, as it frees up mental capacity for creative thinking, and a curse, because if human beings don’t start to understand themselves as “hackable animals” we will see more mental and intellectual crisis caused by (social media) algorithms like we’ve seen with Brexit, the Trump election and most recently the anti-vaccine online cult. We seek to illustrate this contradiction by, on a conceptual level, using AI-generated animations creatively and, on a visual level, let the AI-animations hijack our entire beings”.”

Danish black metal duo ANGSTSKRÍG returns with its sophomore album ‘Angstkrig’ (Danish for ‘anxiety war’) following up on the 2021 debut album ‘Skyggespil’. ‘Angstkrig’ was created during the pandemic and completed, as the world re-opened. This made its mark on the album’s seven black metallic, genre-fusioning and non-compromising songs, which revolves around and confronts the modern world’s inhuman pressure on the human.

The two Blackened Brothers formed ANGSTSKRÍG in 2019 and intoxicated by inspiration, they quickly wrote the material for the debut album ‘Skyggespil’ (Danish for ‘shadow play’), which was recorded with producer Frederik Brandt Jakobsen, just as a pandemic world locked down. ‘Skyggespil’ was released in 2021, and the duo remained obscure, while the album’s convincing songwriting and unique nordic tone made the rumours of ANGSTSKRÍG spread widely.

Lyrics:
Forpint af frygt.
Det føles så trygt.
Så sikkert og trist.
Du går mod sidste frist.
Det æder dig op, men du bliver ved. Intet går op, mens du går ned.
Du finder trøst i en verden, der presser alle til at leve med smerten.

Tungsindet fylder din krop.
Dit sind har forlænget fået nok og knækker, før du siger stop.
Luk dine øjne.
Du blændes af sædvanens skær.
Du kæmper, men hvad er dit værd?
Du opgiver at være nær.
Luk dine øjne.

Nu er du tom.
Tænk dig nu om.
Hvad har et værd, og hvad er til besvær?
Du tror på tæsk giver styrken, men opdager, du er alene med byrden .

Tungsindet fylder din krop.
Dit sind har forlænget fået nok og knækker, før du siger stop.
Luk dine øjne.
Du blændes af sædvanens skær.
Du kæmper, men hvad er dit værd?
Du opgiver at være nær.
Luk dine øjne.

Luk dine øjne.
Se hvordan verden står til.
Virkelighedens spil.
Du bærer den i dig selv.
Luk dine øjne.
Se hvad der sker indeni? Hvad giver livet værdi? Hvad gør dig menneskelig?
