Austrian atmospheric black metal project Rauhnåcht, founded in 2009 by a solitary mountain-walker, premiered their new single Der Spalt zwischen den Welten on August 10, 2025, via the Atmospheric Black Metal Albums YouTube channel. Stream it at:
From their fifth album Zwischenwelten, set for release on August 25, 2025, via Antiq, the track blends Alpine folk influences from Sturmpercht with aggressive black metal and meditative dreamscapes, delivering wind-fast blasts and a dark atmosphere exploring parallel realities. The album’s title, meaning “the worlds between the worlds,” is reflected in the cover art by Joanna Maeyens, depicting modernity versus ancient spirituality. Produced by Antiq, known for coherent music and art since 2009, the single sets the tone for a darker evolution from 2018’s Unterm Gipfelthron. Pre-order Zwischenwelten at antiqrecords.com.
