Im Herbst unserer Kindheit is a one-man avant-garde black metal project from Altenburg, Germany, formed in 2021, with all instruments and vocals performed by Tobias Serfling, who also records under Nachtfalter, Ad-hoC, and Jasmund. Described as "poetic melodic black metal," the project spans albums including Horizont, Tobsucht, and The Creative Destruction of a Timeless Vault.
Im Tode melds melodic death metal's sharp guitar work with black metal's spectral hostility, approaching the intersection of these styles with the kind of intensity the German title implies.
