Following the release of their brand-new album “Stronghold”, German epic melodic metal veterans HUMAN FORTRESS unveil the official video for their haunting new single “The Darkest Hour”.
The song delves into the shadowy realm between dream and waking life — a liminal space where fear and confusion merge. As the band explains:
“The nightmares come every night and you can no longer distinguish between dream and reality.”
Musically, “The Darkest Hour” embodies the emotional intensity and melodic strength that define “Stronghold”: powerful guitar-driven arrangements, dramatic vocal lines, and an atmosphere charged with both grandeur and despair. It is a track that perfectly encapsulates the album’s darker edge and its reflection on human vulnerability.

Produced by the band and mixed/mastered by Alex Krull (Mastersound Studio), “Stronghold” is available now via Massacre Records as a 2-CD Digipak and limited vinyl LP. With “Stronghold” HUMAN FORTRESS reaffirm their place as one of Germany’s most respected epic metal institutions, delivering an album that is both timely and timeless.
