With only days remaining until the unveiling of their sophomore record Ydos, Lithuanian act Black Spikes now shares another video track. "DULKĖS" — Lithuanian for "dust" — serves as the mystical, atmospheric album closer. Versatile yet gripping, the five‑piece breakout band continues to solidify its upward trajectory with this powerful, emotionally charged track. Initially driven by slow, modern drum patterns and Agni's captivating, whisper‑like vocals, "DULKĖS" soon erupts into a thrilling, head‑banging invitation — a final surge before the album descends into silence.
Maintaining their signature balance between sensitivity and heaviness, the song concludes Black Spikes' bleak, introspective exploration of humankind's relationship with its vices. Ydos stands as a creative twist on modern metal: a progressive, sweeping strike that reaches out with fierce claws and refuses to let go.
Black Spikes on "DULKĖS": "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".
Ydos will arrive this Friday, 28 August, under Napalm Records. For previously released video singles and further information, follow the links HERE. Link
