Purpur by ZAHN
Berlin’s experimental trio ZAHN returns with their most electrifying work yet. A lush fusion of heaviness, electronics, and hallucinatory color. Monolithic grooves meet synthetic shimmer. PURPUR breathes tension and danger, pulsing with depth and density.
Known for their intense, driving sound that echoes the relentless march of a world on the edge, the trio ZAHN — Chris Breuer, Nic Stockmann and Felix Gebhard — are deepening their sonic exploration with a record that is simultaneously more electronic and more rock-infused than their acclaimed predecessors.

Recorded once again in Gyhum with recording engineer Peter Voigtmann (ex–The Ocean, Death By Gong, Heads.), Purpur follows in the footsteps of the band’s previous work but also marks a bold leap forward. Guest appearances by Fabian Bremer (Radare, AUA) and Kjetil Nernes (Årabrot) deepen the record’s sense of unease and allure, while Magnus Lindberg‘s (Cult of Luna) mix and master give it the depth of a subterranean pulse — crisp, heavy and alive with microscopic detail.
