With the "'43" (release date 20.11.25), FJØRT from Aachen announce the arrival of their fifth album: "belle époque" will be released on 20.02.26 via Grand Hotel van Cleef.
The first minute leads us ballad-like into the unimaginably dehumanized time of German history and draws a cautionary arc to our present. Only then does the trio play the strongest card in their hand: a musical discharge that emphasizes what has just been heard.
When in the following verse "We have murdered, pillaged, desecrated, strangled - we are capable of this" is screamed with 98°C distortion and repeatedly calls for self-reflection in light of this horror, it becomes clear: "belle époque" is the most powerful album the band has released so far.
"We live in swastika times" FJØRT conclude at the end, and it becomes unmistakably clear to us how close we are to a repetition of the past.
On a musical level, FJØRT remain their own benchmark: compositions like theatrical pieces, emotionally dense, simultaneously capable of instilling fear and providing salvation.
After the release of "belle époque", FJØRT will go on tour in March 2026.
