History & Biography
Not to be confused with the Swedish band once on Candlelight Records, these Germans hail from Berlin and specialize in true thrash metal. The group was formed in 1993 as Nosferatu before changing names four weeks later and issuing a succession of demos in the ‘90s with ‘aggressive’ names. The band actually split up in 1995 before reforming two years later. The group left Gutter Records in 2001 publicly citing it for unprofessionalism. The group toured with Assassin and Sodom in 2006. It was not until 2010 that Fatal Embrace released a new album, The Empires Of Inhumanity, on June 7th through Metal Blade Records. The album was recorded at Music Lab Studio in Berlin with producer Mathias Wendt. There was a new album in 2019, but Tobias Stork left in 2021. Bassist Ronald Schulze also left. Tilo Voigtländer of Postmortem replaced him. Christian Beyer was the new guitarist in 2023. The band was booked for Castle Rock 2024. Drummer Sven (2021 - 2024) died of cancer. His predecessor Pulverizatör had left in 2019. Willi Wild was helping out live. There were several European shows, including Protzen Open Air, booked for 2025. The 2025 album, Seventh Sadistic Serenade, featured a new guitarist (Christian Beyer), bassist (Tilo Voigtländer) and drummer (Andre Hanschke).

The band subscribed to the leather, chain and spikes look.
