Sun After Dark, a new band led by Benjamin König (ex-Lunar Aurora), unveils a new track from their debut album,  “Tatkraft”, to be released on 13th June via Hammerheart Records.
Sun After Dark blends modern elements, dark tones, black metal and powerful moods to tell stories of life’s experiences! Sun After Dark is a project by Benjamin König from Germany – a founding member of the black metal  band Lunar Aurora. There he was mainly responsible for the composition of 9 albums and various compilations. With Sun After Dark he has now created his own debut album entitled „Tatkraft“ (German word for drive/energy/moxie).

“Life consists of stories, experiences and episodes. Mastering it often requires Tatkraft.”, says the musician.

The lyrics are written  in English, German and Bavarian dialect. Production was handed to Victor Bullok (Triptykon) in  Woodshed Studio, autumn 2024. As part of their collaboration, Thomas Helm and Benjamin König decided to continue this project together in the future. Sun After Dark is purely a studio project and is not planning any concerts. Those involved in this project have their own well-known bands and can also be seen on stage there.

Benjamin comments:
“‘Burning Blue’ is an almost catchy and straightforward song. The plot revolves around the ancient dream of flying: in this case, flying through the night, over ruins and through dark dungeons. Lots of clichéd themes, but atmospherically packaged and made to float and immerse yourself. Enchanted with dust from old times, like a fairy tale, almost forgotten, yet burned into our childhood. I think we all know these nightflight dreams. The basic form of the song is many years old, but has been reworked for this album. Now was the right time and place for this song.”
