Today, Amor Fati Productions announces December 18th as the international release date for the highly anticipated second album of Germany’s AETHER, Verfallsschemen, ​on CD and vinyl LP formats. The cover art was crafted by Torsten Batzk.

In a world that has long since given up on itself, Aether’s second work rises like a lamenting monolith of ashes and despair. This album is not a collection of songs – it is a descent, a ritual, a mirror of inner turmoil. Between frosty melancholy and eruptive self-destruction, a soundscape unfolds that promises no redemption, but seeks beauty in the abyss. Every note is steeped in nihilism, every passage an echo of emptiness… For those who want to not only hear but feel, this is not an album – it is an experience that burns, decomposes and yet has a strangely liberating effect.
