Young pop rockers ENGST from Berlin have released the brand new music video for their second single ‘Der Moment’. Their debut record, »Flächenbrand«, will be released on the 26th of October via Arising Empire.
Matthias Engst (vocals) comments: ‘”Der Moment’ is definitely one of our most intimate songs. It describes the feeling of knowing that something you've been fighting for for a long time eventually falls apart. This song is a tale as old as love itself, still it never looses an ounce of it's meaning nor the pain it carries.”
The band recently announced to support MASSENDEFEKT on their PAZIFIK TOUR 2018 on four selected shows!

The keyword “authenticity” is very important for the boys, so it's not surprising that Matthias Engst rejected a label signing deal in 2015 after winning a music show (“The Band” with Samu Haber) at Germany’s TV channel Pro7 because they wanted to turn him into a model-pop star without an own personality.
He decided to turn his back on the illusory world of TV and casting shows and to return to his own, not always shimmering and brilliant life, to follow his own visions for his musical career and found a serious band on himself.
ENGST are not only thrown together musicians who storm the stage together, but at the same time friends, family and fans of authentic, handmade rock music. With its rough edges, the band becomes interesting for a wide audience and at ENGST concerts, the boundaries between the stage and the audience are barely noticeable – with flowing sweat, euphorically boiled blood and the urge to sing out loud, it is impossible not to be spellbound by the boys’ pulsing live performance.
In 2017, the band found their fitting home at the label Arising Empire, releasing their first EP »Engst« in the same year. In addition to numerous shows, tour supports and festival concerts, the band constantly released new music videos and frenetically worked on their debut album »Flächenbrand« (Engl. “Major Fire”), which will be released on October 26th, 2018.
Now, finally ENGST‘s time has come to show, without TV cameras and commercial breaks, what they really want to show – authentically, without making a detour and never again determined by others.
