Emperor X – “Schopenhauer In Berlin”

Emperor X – “Schopenhauer In Berlin”

Chad Matheny will release his latest in a long line of Emperor X albums at the beginning of May. So far, we’ve heard “Wasted On The Senate Floor” and “€30,000,” and today he’s shared another one with us called “Schopenhauer In Berlin.” It’s pithy and breathless, placing the German philosopher in a variety of modern contexts, drawing a connection between his suppressed will and today’s world: “It’s a sign of the times that we’re in that we’re thinking along the same line he did,” Matheny sings in the opening verse.
