After the successful release of their second album »Schöne neue Welt«, which hit #20 in the official German album charts, ENGST from Berlin today unveil their brand new music video for their song 'Soll der Teufel'! Matthias Engst: "Even when the world is upside down and we are all looking forward to better days, we must not lose heart. "Soll Der Teufel" gives us some hope, both musically and visually, and perhaps ensures that we reflect on the important things in life."

ENGST's new album »Schöne neue Welt« out now! Self-confident and authentic as usual - a total banger of an album. »Schöne neue Welt« holds the previous released hit singles 'Wieder da', 'Mein Problem', 'Schlechtes Gewissen' & 'Alle tragen Schwarz'. To celebrate this masterpiece of an album and Halloween, the band released the scary music video for 'Schöne neue Welt' - trick or treat!
Matthias Engst says: “The song 'Schöne Neue Welt' is not only the namesake of our second album, but also the most accurate description of the current situation on our planet. We wrote the track before the outbreak of the pandemic, but we couldn't have sung about the current situation better. The track sums up the expansive essence of the entire record. Dark, apocalyptic and tough! We just looked the other way and turned the problems of OUR WORLD into the problems of others, until the whole damn house of cards collapsed above us ... and so we were all guilty."

Their eagerly awaited second album »Schöne neue Welt« is out now via Arising Empire.
ENGST are ready to continue what they started with their successful debut album »Flächenbrand« and are thus not only rewarding themselves for years of hard work and stamina, but also all fans who have already discovered the potential of the Berlin band as support act for renowned bands like MASSENDEFEKT, BETONTOD and ROGERS. The album consists of a perfect combination of Matthias' gripping voice, overwhelming hooks and tearing guitars. One thing is clear: As soon as ENGST show up, the demolition is for sure!
After dealing with time pressure during the writing process of their debut album »Flächenbrand« and finishing some parts only minutes before entering the studio, ENGST finally had the chance to take all the time they needed on »Schöne neue Welt« – the second full-length release that once again captures the contrast between anger and hope, desolation and meaningful friendship, all melted in one captivating musical potpourri.
The band concludes: “We are once again taking a clear stand and there is still so much to stand up against in our society. We take all of it and toss it into their faces.... but still, we wouldn't be ENGST without friendship, solidarity and love.”
Consisting of a group of close friends who teamed up around front man Matthias Engst, the band are typical children of Berlin - unmistakable, rough and down-to-earth. And until today, Matthias Engst is living in the capital's problem district where he has grown up. The experiences he made during his youth, the roughness of the neighborhood and the love for his hometown are main elements in ENGST's songs that rife with social criticism yet always maintain respect for Matthias' origins and roots.
