The wait is over! German modern metal force VENUES have unleashed “Duality,” the very first taste of music from their upcoming album cycle and the beginning of an audacious new era.
Set against the backdrop of a dystopian world where the last living tree becomes a symbol of survival, “Duality” introduces the narrative, sound, and aesthetic vision that will define the band’s most ambitious chapter yet.
Fusing pulsating synths, cinematic soundscapes, and crushing riffs, “Duality” is the blueprint of VENUES 2026 — futuristic, emotional, and unapologetically unique. Vocalist Lela Gruber delivers a breathtaking performance, shifting seamlessly between vulnerability and ferocity, while Robin Baumann‘s visceral shouts slice through the chaos with surgical precision. Together, they embody the dual nature of the record: Hope and despair, beauty and destruction, fragility and power.
“This time, we wanted to connect everything — sound, story, look, emotion,” says Gruber. “‘Duality’ is the first step into that world.”
Out October 17, “Duality” marks the start of a carefully crafted rollout where each new single unveils another chapter of the story — a cinematic universe told through music videos, visuals, and sound that blend seamlessly into one immersive experience. With their upcoming album due in Summer 2026, VENUES are not only reinventing themselves but pushing their boundaries.Watch “Duality” music video here.
