Folterkammer reveal behind the scenes look at the video for "Anno Domina"
Here at LiveWire, we’ve long been fans of the incredible Imperial Triumphant, and we are so pleased to introduce you to operatic black metal rising stars Folterkammer, who have just revealed a behind the scenes glimpse at the making of their latest music video for the song Anno Domina. The song is taken from the band's sophomore full-length , “Weibermacht,” which is due on April 19, 2024 via Century Media Records. You can watch the video clip below:
Founded in New York around 2018/2019, Folterkammer, or “Torture Chamber,” is the operatic black metal outfit that is redefining modern music. This ingenious band seamlessly fuses beauty with brutality. A combination of raw passion and technique contributes to the epic nature of Folterkammer’s dark art. Their work is both nostalgic and remarkably fresh. Yes, Folterkammer fuses various musical traditions and genres to craft an unparalleled experience.
The original music video for Anno Dimona which was once again directed by Folterkammer drummer Brendan McGowan, can be viewed below:
The news album “Weibermacht serves as a counterpart to the band's 2020 debut, “Die Lederpredigt”. The new record is another searing blend of modern black metal and classical music elements, lending to its Avant Garde sound. The music itself is elevated by frontwoman and vocalist Andromeda Anarchia's dynamic vocal work as she juxtaposes her classical training as an opera singer with her hellfire screams, summoning a maelstrom of ethereal chaos. The album can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp HERE.
In addition, Folterkammer has recently announced their first ever US tour ! The rising powerhouse will be embarking on an East Coast headliner with support from Witching, which kicks off on March 22 in Baltimore and will circle back to the band's hometown of Brooklyn, NY on March 30.

Folterkammer is composed of Andromeda Anarchia on vocals, Zachary Ezrin on guitars, Darren Hanson on guitars, Laurent David on bass, and Brendan McGowan on drums. Both Anarchia, who hails from Switzerland, and David, who was born in Paris, divide their time between Europe and Brooklyn. Thus, even though the group can be described as international, Anarchia states: “It took New York to create Folterkammer.” Her project Andromeda Anarchia’s DARKMATTERS acted as the catalyst that brought her to the Big Apple, where she met Ezrin. Many metalheads already know that Anarchia has appeared as a guest on the three most recent albums by Ezrin’s brainchild Imperial Triumphant — a leading avant-garde band that marries extreme metal, jazz, classical components, etc. McGowan has also provided guest vocals for Imperial Triumphant, and Hanson lent his songwriting excellence to their 2012 instrumental track “Scaphism.”
