THE STAGE OF DREAMS
KILLINGBACK WOODS (SINGLE)
The new single “Killingback Woods” by The Stage of Dreams showcases the band’s blend of power metal, progressive elements, and atmospheric storytelling, creating a haunting and immersive experience.
Part of their concept album The Duality Conflict, the track pairs melodic and aggressive tones to craft a cinematic soundscape that feels both eerie and epic. The song’s intricate layering of guitars and reverb-heavy vocals sets a brooding yet engaging mood, pulling listeners deep into its gothic narrative.
The accompanying music video, directed by William Victor Schotten, enhances the track’s themes with visuals of vampires haunting a shadowy forest. Filmed partly in an underground mine, the video aligns seamlessly with the song’s dark and ethereal tone, contributing to its dramatic impact. And I think this is the key of the new single! The production of the music video and the mix with the elements of the band. They are so good together that will blow your mind!
Critics have praised the band for their refined structure and storytelling, noting their evolution in blending operatic and metal influences. I agree 100% and I suggest you to push the play button!
