Βringing their relentless assault from the depths of France’s Extreme Metal scene, BENIGHTED is at the brink of releasing their most visceral and thematically profound work yet. In anticipation of their groundbreaking album, “Ekbom”, out on April 12th via Season Of Mist, the band premieres their horrifying yet captivating single, “Metastasis”.
This latest single delves deep into the human body’s betrayals and the mind’s hauntings. Produced with the dark, intricate craftsmanship fans have come to expect from BENIGHTED, the track is a manifest of pure audial terror, blending brutal Black Death Metal with themes of psychological horror.
“The song with probably the heaviest chorus on the entire album!”, says vocalist Julien. “Time to break your neck!”
The video for “Metastasis” was produced & directed by Kick Your Eyes productions, who previously captured the essence of BENIGHTED perfectly on “Nails” in 2020. “Here is the beautiful music video of ‘Metastasis’ we’re releasing with Kick Your Eyes!”
BENIGHTED are ready to unleash the macabre as they announce their latest new album “Ekbom”. Pulsating with brutality, this new full-length studio album weaves a tale of psychological horror.
