NEWS: Black Spikes trade dust for ash?

…with hours before the release of their first album in partnership with Napalm Records Lithuanian avant-garde Metal act Black Spikes have shared a music video for “Dulkės” (or “Dust“) cut from it. Titled “Ydos” the album has been labeled as a modern Progressive Metal record in the sense that it pushes boundaries in all directions while also being a concept release. Described by the band as a dark fairy tale about human vices it will be available on 28th August everywhere that’s good.

The band comment: “The final song of Ydos, ‘DULKĖS’, closes the whole fairy tale by returning everything to dust. It is about the shortness of human life and what remains after we are gone. Our bodies disappear, the past fades, and the future belongs to others. But dust also carries the possibility of new life, reminding us that everything ends only to begin again.”
