Shortly before SERENITY is heading off on the biggest tour of their career with heavy metal giants POWERWOLF, the symphonic metal legends have revealed the final single, "The End of Babylon", from their new studio album, Nemesis AD, out November 3, 2023 via Napalm Records! Successor to The Last Knight (2020) - which entered the official German album charts at #25 - Nemesis AD is the first record featuring Marco Pastorino (TEMPERANCE) as additional guitarist and backing vocalist. "The End of Babylon" represents one of the darker, heavier tracks on the new full-length.

Climactic arrangements carry the dramatic storyline of "The End of Babylon", as the theatrical instrumentation leads the listener to a faraway world while the vocal performance of skilled singer Georg Neuhauser ultimately unlocks the track's hit potential. The accompanying official music video enchants by illustrating the music's bombast.

SERENITY on "The End of Babylon":

"With the "End of Babylon", we created a darker song about transience and the end of an era - inspired by the famous work The Whore of Babylon by Albrecht Durer. It's taken out of the Apocalypse series and sadly could fit the latest situation in Middle East. It seems we don't learn from history."

Known for their thematic albums inspired by historic characters and stories of the past, on Nemesis AD, SERENITY draw inspiration from the life and highly influential art of painter Albrecht Durer of the German renaissance.

With Nemesis AD, SERENITY adds yet another bombastic symphonic metal masterpiece to their notable discography - there is no doubt that the talented unit's standing in the scene is well deserved.

SERENITY comment:

"We are always focused on historical themes. Our latest album The Last Knight (2020) was about Maximilian I and his era. The narrative unfolds further as we structured our new album around his contemporary Albrecht Durer, who is one of the most revolutionary and remarkable artists of all time for us, representing a pivotal juncture between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, bridging Gothic and modern eras."
