Germany’s thrash metal band BONDED have just dropped their second single “Lilith (Queen Of Blood)” today. The track is off their upcoming sophomore album Into Blackness, out worldwide on November 12th via Century Media Records. Check out “Lilith (Queen Of Blood)”, directed by Nico Schiesewitz / VIZO Films, HERE.
“‘Lilith (Queen Of Blood)’ starts with a short intro by the Queen herself, performed by RægIna from Dæmonesq, then followed by a real Thrash Metal thunderstorm. Neck-breaking, hectic, brutal and crowned with an epic chorus. Again an interplay between brutal intensity and catchy hooklines. ‘Lilith’ is highlighted by Makka’s powerful drumming and a cool lead guitar duel. A typical BONDED track with tons of riffs, double bass attacks, breaks and so much more! Lyrically, the song is the next track on “Into Blackness” that represents the conceptional storyline embedded in 4 songs of the album inspired by the fictional book “The Division Of The Damned” by Richard Rhys Jones. It introduces the appearance of an old, ancient female entity – a (blood) goddess called Lilith – the queen of blood,” states BONDED about the release.
BONDED, created by former Sodom members Bernd “Bernemann” Kost (guitars) and Markus“Makka” Freiwald(drums) alongside guitarist Chris Tsitsis (ex-Suicidal Angels), bassist Marc Hauschild and vocalist Ingo Bajonczak(Assassin), have decided to stick to their guns and once again collaborated with producer Cornelius Rambadt (Sodom, Disbelief, Onkel Tom) at the Rambado Recording Studio in Essen, Germany for their sophomore release Into Blackness. The band have also teamed up with Björn Gooßes / Killustrations (Aborted, The Crown, Carnal Forge) for the album artwork, just like on their critically acclaimed Rest In Violence debut album from 2020, which entered the official album charts in Germany at #84.
“Lilith (Queen Of Blood)” follows the release of the band’s first single “Into The Blackness Of A Wartime Night”. Watch the music video, HERE.
