NIGHTBEARER comment: „The tell-tale title ‚His Dark Materials‘ is both, lyrically and musically, an excellent represantation of what were 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!“
With their sophomore studio album „Ghosts of a Darkness to Come“ (2022), NIGHTBEARER expanded their lyrical theme to conceptual size by taking their listeners on a journey into the bloody, dark, and deadly events of the late Robert Jordan’s epic saga ‚The Wheel of Time‘. Backed by the success, the Germans began to deliver powerful performances at notable festivals such as Metal Diver Festival and Party.San Herbstoffensive.
NIGHTBEARER display a perfect sense of timing by offering their third and most complete full-length to date that is based on the „His Dark Materials“ trilogy to the world right now in a death metal act of „Defiance“!
