Benighted Announces New Album "Ekbom"

Benighted weaves a writhing tale of psychological horror on their new album, which was recorded at Kohlekeller Studio. Famous for working with bands like Aborted and Powerwolf, producer Kristian Kohlmannslehner helped Benighted twist their brutal brand of death metal into something truly tormenting.

"Ekbom" refers to delusional parasitosis, a real-life phenomenon that makes people believe their skin is infested with bugs. Just try not to shiver while watching the creepy-crawly music video for lead single "Scars."

"Ekbom" comes out April 12, 2024.

Tracklisting:

1. Prodrome
2. Scars
3. Morgue
4. Le Vice des Entrailles
5. Nothing Left to Fear
6. Ekbom
7. Metastasis
8. A Reason for Treason
9. Fame of the Grotesque
10. Scapegoat
11. Flesh against Flesh
12. Mother Earth, Mother Whore More...

Sonata Arctica Posts "Dark Empath" Video Online

Leading the way to their highly anticipated new offering "Clear Cold Beyond" (to be released on March 8, 2024 through Atomic Fire), Finnish melodic metallers Sonata Arctica surprise fans with a brand new music video today. Their latest track, "Dark Empath," can now also be enjoyed in all its visual glory over on YouTube. Telling the story of a character being chased, both mentally and physically, the haunting result, which was created by a team led by director/script writer Miikka Lommi and producer Katja Jokinen, can be viewed below.

Singer Tony Kakko commented on "Dark Empath": "This track is part of a saga that started with the song 'The End Of This Chapter' on our second album »Silence« in 2001 -- some even think it started on our debut album -- and has many sequels and prequels already. Its stalker theme offers a frame to write songs in a certain style I like very much. People do not seem to mind this, fortunately, haha! It's not a chronological story, but rather a theme with reoccurring, familiar characters that end up living through variations of the theme over and over again." More...
