SCHAFOTT
THE BLACK FLAME

German extreme metal hopefuls Schafott hail from Dresden/Saxony. The four-piece have been around since 2011, released their demo ‘Satan’s Throne’ in 2014 (which was picked as “Demo of the Month” by German Deaf Forever magazine) and are now presenting the world with their first full-length effort “The Black Flame”. Even though often filed under (slightly drunk and occult) “black/thrash”, Schafott really stand on their own, carving their own dark niche with vicious songs both full of incessant aggression and a dazzling melodic ingenuity. With their lyrics always focussing on all sorts of blasphemous forces and their dealings, Schafott never content themselves with your run-of-the-mill, bang-along metal song, but always aim for song-structures that go above and beyond.
