Nailed To Obscurity Shares "Glass Bleeding" Video
Nailed To Obscurity has released a video for "Glass Beeding," the latest single from their fifth studio album, "Generation Of The Void," which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records! In celebration of the album's release day, an atmospheric music video is being released alongside the single. Scroll down to check it out.
Dynamic album opening track "Glass Bleeding" offers a preview of the stylistic variety that Nailed To Obscurity have perfected with "Generation Of The Void," shifting with ease between hard-hitting death metal passages, ethereal clean parts and anthemic sing-alongs.
With "Generation Of The Void," Nailed To Obscurity has crafted their most mature and expansive album to date. The album reflects the turmoil of the post-pandemic era, the shadows of war in Europe, and the relentless changes affecting all of humanity. Beyond its political and social commentary, the album also dives deep into personal struggles, confronting themes of dark emotions, depression, and fear. Every note, every lyric carries the weight of uncertainty and disillusionment, while no one knows what one will find within the void or beyond.
Nailed To Obscurity commented:
"We are beyond excited that our new album 'Generation Of The Void' is finally out today. It feels amazing to share not only the singles you’ve already heard, but also all the other songs that complete the journey. We can’t wait for you to dive into the full record and discover everything we’ve been working on.
"Alongside the album, we’re thrilled to unveil the brand-new video for 'Glass Bleeding'. We chose this track to open the record because it perfectly introduces what’s to come - moving from mellow, moody atmospheres into crushingly heavy riffs and blast beats. It sets the tone for the entire album and paves the way for everything that follows." More...

Nailed To Obscurity Unveils New Music Video
Ahead of their European tour alongside Eluveitie, Amorphis and Dark Tranquillity German melodic death metallers Nailed To Obscurity have released a new single and video titled 'Clouded Frame'. A dark and sinister masterpiece, "Clouded Frame" combines the band’s signature growled vocals and lurching riffs with brooding melodies.
Raimund Ennenga:"Sometimes you struggle to get all the bits and pieces together to memorize a stroke of fate correctly, but you come to realize that certain details became unreachable. They stay hidden in the blind spot of your memory. You are standing in front of the 'Clouded Frame', but it’s just impossible to get a proper view of what’s inside.
"We took this idea as the central image of the song 'Clouded Frame' which - in our point of view - really captures this emotion with its eruptive moments as well as its mellow and very fragile chorus." More...
Nailed To Obscurity Shares New Single
You're all full of joy and enthusiasm for the new year? Well, we can take care of that for you. Or, more precisely, Nailed To Obscurity can: Today, the German melodic death metal doomsters release their new single "Liquid Mourning" - an earth shaking extreme metal track touching the darkest parts of your soul and covering all hope and light in a lake of black molasses, dragging you deeper and deeper into their inferno of heavy riffs and brutal growls. You can check out the video below.
Raimund Ennenga: "The state of grief is often hard to leave behind, but a suffering soul is a fragile entity that needs to leave the lava of sorrow before it turns into obsidian. 'Liquid Mourning' is about a mind that is lost in the feeling of sorrow and finds itself more and more in a brittle tomb, as the mourning seemingly turns from liquid into solid…"
Jan-Ole Lamberti: "We wanted to try a different approach when we started writing new music shortly after the pandemic hit. The super low-tuned guitars, the string arrangement at the end and the production and sound itself are only a few examples which can be heard on ‘Liquid Mourning’ - probably the catchiest and maybe the most intense song we have released so far. Play it loud and enjoy!" More...
