Operatic black metal rising stars Folterkammer are pleased to announce their first-ever U.S. 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 guitarist Zac Ezrin comments:

“Folterkammer is thrilled to finally embark on their debut tour. We are honored to share the stage and the road with our good friends in Witching. We hope to see you all out there very soon. This will certainly be the first of many tours.”

Folterkammer recently announced their new union with Century Media Records and unveiled a BDSM-inspired new single, “Das Peitschengedicht,” which celebrates the female empowerment of whip-wielding Femdoms. The powerful track can be found along with a lyric video, which was created by Folterkammer drummer and video director Brendan McGowan.

Speaking on the empowering themes of the “Das Peitschengedicht” and forthcoming record, Andromeda Anarchia eloquently explains:

“This song is our kinky ode to the whip as a torture instrument, and a celebratory hymn to the practices of BDSM, particularly, Femdom. The whip, a symbol of domination, pain and humiliation, is described here not only as playful and kinky, but as a poetic enactment of pain through the depiction of female ferocity on a submissive man, whose back the Domme uses like a canvas.”

She continues…

“It is about this sensual overdrive of stimulation and literally describes the lustful use of a whip as a kind of ‘calligraphy brush’ to write a poem. The dominatrix verbally humiliates her subject while blood runs down his spine; his blood is the ink with which she paints and signs her artwork of pain and ecstasy.”
