NEWS: NightWraith watch the flickering flame!

Proudly announcing the addition of Lauren Vieira of Dreadnought fame as their full-time keyboard and synth player, further expanding their sonic palate, Denver Colorado Blackened Death Doom collective NightWraith have unleashed standalone single “The Candlelight“. Originally written during sessions for their previous album “Divergence” it is said that the song didn’t quite fit and so was saved for something special further down the line. Lyrically, the song is a romantic ode to a wild, creative era in frontman Ben Pitts’ life, specifically his time living in Denver’s legendary punk house, The Yellow Bordello. It’s a snapshot of youthful abandon, DIY shows, and fleeting romances, rendered with honesty and grit. Rather than indulging in nostalgia, the lyrics treat memory like postcards, personal, vivid, and emotionally resonant.

Vocalist and guitarist Benjamin Pitts comments: “It can be hard to take a leap of faith and think outside the box, but if an artist won’t take risks, then nothing new is ever going to happen. I hope listeners will understand our vision for ‘The Candlelight’ and are receptive to the risks we’ve taken by releasing a non-traditional sounding heavy metal song”

Bassist and recording engineer Jacob St. Amand adds: “The recording process was quick and easy, allowing everyone’s natural performances to shine. It was my third time engineering music with NightWraith, so we were all familiar with the process and each band member’s recording style. Because of our comfort level, we took a more creative and natural approach”
