The Wrong Road to Salvationâ German Post-Punk Artist fremder Haunts a Cathedral in Video for âGeisterfahrerâ
fremderâs Geisterfahrer channels a bad idea whispered by a beautiful stranger leaning across the bar at closing time, and the first thing you notice is how completely the whole affair belongs to one mind. This German producer, songwriter, videographer, and tattoo artist has built the project from the bolts up, and you can feel that private fixation in every frame. The song, the imagery, the pose, the sense of ceremony: none of it feels farmed out, softened up, or passed through a committee of careful hands. It comes straight from the source, with all the obsession and odd little perils that usually implies.
The track itself runs on a severe, lean Motorik drag, the kind of rhythm that suggests forward motion without promising any destination worth reaching. Fremder calls his approach “black romanticism,” and for once that sort of phrase earns its keep. Geisterfahrer (which translates to “Ghost Rider”) is about giving yourself over to the wrong road with open eyes, about the lure of velocity when standing still might mean hearing your own thoughts too clearly. There is pleasure in the plunge here, a real appetite for danger, but also a spiritual weariness tucked into the German lyrics, as though the devil in the passenger seat has stopped bothering with salesmanship and simply rides along out of habit.
Musically, it sits somewhere between coldwave austerity, post-punk tension, and darkwave drama, with enough of that East European after-midnight ache to bring Molchat Doma to mind, plus a dash of the romantic fatalism of Harsh Symmetry and Kino, and the stern early chill of The Cure. The beat keeps pressing ahead while the synths hang overhead like bad weather, and the guitar cuts in with a clean, needling edge. Fremder sings as if he is calling from the far end of a tunnel, already half-gone and perfectly willing to keep going.
The black-and-white video, directed by Fogg Films, understands the songâs lonely appetite for exile. Fremder appears alone in a creek, half-submerged like some doomed saint of self-sabotage, then inside an ancient church, then stalking city streets, then boxed into a stairwell that looks ready to swallow him floor by floor. These arenât settings so much as states of mind with walls. Every location carries its own particular chill, and the camera treats his isolation with just enough glamour to make ruin look tempting.

That is the sly trick of Geisterfahrer. It turns alienation into allure, then lets the aftertaste tell the truth.

The Troops of Doom Enlist Members of Testament & Destruction to Cover Kissâs âGod of Thunder
What a way to celebrate. Coming up on their sixth birthday pretty much, Brazilian death/thrash band The Troops of Doom (founded by former Sepultura guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz), are doing the ultimate toast by recruiting some renowned and varied musicians to work with them on a particular birthday project. Bringing together Testament’s Chuck Billy, Martin Furia of Destruction and Bark, Andria Busic (Dr. Sin, Ultraje A Rigor), and PJ (Jota Quest) to aid them, The Troops of Doom have released a cover of Kiss’s beloved track “God of Thunder.”
Guedz had this to say about the band and their inspiration behind choosing this particular song to cover:
“Since The Troops of Doom was formed back in 2020, we’ve used ‘God Of Thunder’ as a pre-intro in our shows. Whenever the audience hears this song playing through the P.A., they already know the band is about to hit the stage. It’s almost a ritual for us. We all grew up listening to Kiss, so this track has always held a special meaning.”
The cover obviously also features the Troops themselvesâAlex Kafer on vocals, Marcelo Vasco and Guedz on guitars, and Alexandre Oliveira on drumsâalong with the guests’ contributions. This will be Vasco’s last foray with the band though, as he just announced his departure from the band, with his farewell show being on May 1 at CDM Metal Fest, in Campo do Meio, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Guedz added:
“We are huge fans of all the musicians involved. Each one was carefully chosen for representing something we truly admire. That makes the result even more special. Above all, this song is a celebration of what connects us: the love for Kiss and heavy music.”
Hell yeah, brothers. Happy 6th birthday!
