NEWS: Black Spikes make it four with “Zelvar”!

How many advanced singles does it take to sink a battleship? That’s the question that Napalm Records are asking as they give us a fourth from Lithuanian Avant-garde Metal heads Black Spikes upcoming new album “Ydos” in “Zelvar“. Thematically the song portrays greed and thereby expands the record’s concept – an exploration of humanity’s vices with the album set to drop on 28th August.

The band comment: This song tells the story of Zelvar, the demon of greed, as he steps into the human world. Within a magnificent palace, those consumed by endless ambition gather, chasing ever greater wealth, power, and status. Yet the more they gain, the deeper they fall into his trap—thirsty, and forever unsatisfied. Greed is a vice that leaves the soul imprisoned and alone the moment you ‘close your eyes’ and surrender to its temptation. No matter how much you possess, it will never be enough.”

“Ydos is a conceptual album—a dark fairytale about human vices. The idea was there from the very beginning and guided the entire songwriting process. Each vice has its own name and story, and many songs will be brought to life through music videos where these vices take shape. It was our first time creating a conceptual album, and we really enjoyed starting with an idea and expressing it through music.”
