Saltatio Mortis: 'Tanz der tausend Klingen' Opens 'Widerstand' EP — Live in Gelsenkirchen
Saltatio Mortis lay down the next card in their ambitious transmedia project: 'Tanz der tausend Klingen' is the second single from the EP 'Staub & Schatten 2: Widerstand', dropping May 29, 2026 — the second of five EPs that will grow into a complete album by 2027.
Social Pressure, Exclusion, Solidarity
The single tackles themes of social pressure, exclusion, and collective resistance — a dark picture of growing threat with a clear message: resistance through community. The concept was developed in collaboration with fantasy author Torsten Weitze and his novel series The Prince of Dust and Shadows.
NRW Must-See: May 16 at Amphitheater Gelsenkirchen
In just days, Saltatio Mortis play Amphitheater Nordsternpark Gelsenkirchen on May 16, 2026 — the open-air stage inside an industrial monument is the perfect backdrop for the epic new songs. Summer also brings Mera Luna Festival in Hildesheim and Amphi Festival in Cologne.
