NIGHTBEARER launch the crushing performance videoHis Dark Materials‘ as the first single taken from their new full-lengthDefiance“. The third studio album of the German death metal bookworms, which is based on a concept inspired by Sir Philip Pullman’s fantasy book trilogy “His Dark Materials”, has been scheduled for release on June 13, 2025.
NIGHTBEARER comment: “The tell-tale title ‘His Dark Materials’ is both, lyrically and musically, an excellent representation of what we are about to unleash with our third album ‘Defiance’ in 2025”, vocalist Michael Torka declares. “We hurl ourselves into the millennia-old war against the tyranny of a god who never existed, against his corrupted earthly and celestial vassals. It’s a fight against brutal oppression that is carried out in the name of liberation from superstition. This is the final, relentless battle for freedom!”
