In support of their latest, chart-breaking studio album "Destination", German dark metal legends CREMATORY have shared a new video clip for the epic, heavy-as-hell track “Banished Forever”!
"Banished Forever" is our singer Felix's favorite song from the new album and one of the harder tracks on the Destination album, with some light progressive influences for us," CREMATORY drummer and mastermind Markus Jüllich comments. "As a thank-you to the fans for their incredible support in helping us reach #8 in the Top 10 of the German album charts, we would like to sincerely thank you with this Visualizer video clip, because you’ve made our lifelong dream come true. Many heartfelt thanks!"
"Destination" was released on May 2, 2025 via ROAR, and is available on CD, colored 2-LP Vinyl (incl. 4 bonus-Tracks), 3-CD Earbook (feat. the regular album, 4-track bonus CD, album on instrumental versions + a 48-page booklet), an exclusive 18-CD bundle (new album, exclusive remix album + all 16 previous albums) and in digital formats.

In the more than three decades of their existence, CREMATORY have seen trends come and go, while always staying true to their trademarks, they belong to one of Germany's most distinctive gothic metal pioneers to date. Following their latest studio offering “Inglorious Darkness” in 2022, CREMATORY's 17th studio album “Destination” sees the band reach new and even higher levels than ever before, including a sensational #08 in the official German album charts, their highest chart position to date!
Literally combining all the strengths and phases of the gothic metal pioneers, going back to their melodic death metal roots in places, diving deep into the gothic realm again but also surprising listeners, “Destination” marks a triumphant return to the past combined with the strengths of the present. CREMATORY sound highly motivated, they are upping the ante and definitely still have a lot to say even after 34 years of a successful band history!
