Depressive Age is one of the very few metal bands to have emerged from the former GDR (East Germany). Founded in East Berlin in 1985 under the name Blackout the band’s popularity skyrocketed after the fall of the Berlin Wall. With their highly distinctive and somewhat unconventional style, blending thrash and progressive metal, Depressive Age quickly won the hearts of metal aficionados around the world.
With their innovative debut album First Depression (1992), followed by Lying in Wait (1993), Depressive Age delivered two landmark albums in the history of German metal. Over time, their sound evolved further, incorporating gothic elements and taking on an even darker edge.
After years out of the spotlight, the Berlin-based band returned to major stages across Europe in 2023. Next year, the band has a few more surprises in store. We’re thrilled to announce that Depressive Age will be rocking Metal Lake this June!
