Folterkammer Dropped a New Video for “Leck Mich!”

Operatic black metal outfit Folterkammer released a new single, “Leck Mich!” including a fun new video directed by drummer Brendan McGowan.

The video, which was also produced by Vile Luxe Studios, is a sneak peak of their forthcoming album Weibermacht, out April 19 via Century Media Records. Vocalist Andromeda Anarchia explains the somewhat cheeky meaning behind the song’s title.

“The expression ‘Leck mich!’ has several meanings in German. The literal (Lick me!) and the more abstract, vulgar version, short for ‘Leck mich am (Arsch)!’ (lick my a$$!), which is vulgar for: ‘Leave me alone!’ or ‘Fvck off!’

“The title of our upcoming album is Weibermacht, and this is the thematic leitmotif that runs through all the songs, including ‘Leck mich!’

“The term ‘Weibermacht’ refers to an art and cultural-historical motif and describes the triumph of women (and their erotic power) and love over men. In poetry, particularly powerful, wise, strong, and beautiful men allow themselves to be seduced by the folly of love and lose their self-control, virtue, dominance, or even their lives.

“In the song ‘Leck mich!’ the commanding tone is set; men are once again playfully commanded into the submissive and obedient role. ‘Who sets the tone here?’ there is a clear answer: ‘The goddess, the mistress, the dominatrix.’”
