Vocalist Andreas Dörner said this about the new cut:

“This song is inspired by my imagination of a near-death-experience and the question about my life. It’s about the question if one is a good or an evil person.”

“Ascent of the Blessed” is on digital services right now. More information about Dystopia, including tracklisting and release date, will be unveiled soon. The album artwork, which can be seen below, was created by Season Zero, who also worked on the artwork for Zeitgeister.
