Grima Unveils Track "Beyond the Dark Horizon" From New Album "Nightside"
Grima has released a new track, "Beyond the Dark Horizon", as part of their sixth studio album "Nightside". Released on February 28, 2025, the song masterfully embodies the band's atmospheric black metal sound, drawing deep inspiration from their Siberian roots.
Released through Napalm Records, "Beyond the Dark Horizon" exemplifies Grima's artistic evolution. Mixed and mastered by Vladimir Lehtinen, the track achieves a delicate balance between polished production and raw intensity. The collaboration between Vilhelm (vocals, guitars), Morbius (guitars), and guest musicians Vlad (drums) and Serpentum (guitars) creates an intricate sonic landscape that captivates listeners with its haunting atmosphere.
The song's thematic core draws from the mighty Yenisei river that flows through Krasnoyarsk, the band's hometown. This natural force serves as a powerful metaphor for unstoppable dark energies, while exploring the psychological impact of existing in such harsh surroundings. The imagery of frigid waves washing against shores evokes a perpetual yearning for warmth, with the dark horizon symbolizing life's uncertainties.
The metal community has embraced "Beyond the Dark Horizon" with enthusiasm. Silent Radio highlighted its deliberately measured pace and praised Vilhelm's dynamic vocal performance, while Metal Addicts celebrated its dreamlike complexity. Angry Metal Guy commended Vlad's powerful drumwork, and Nine Circles drew comparisons to Blackbraid and Gaerea, emphasizing the track's genre-spanning appeal.
The band's upcoming European tour in 2025 will bring "Beyond the Dark Horizon" to live audiences across the continent. Beginning April 24 at Germany's Ragnarök Festival, the tour encompasses venues throughout Austria, Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, and the UK, before concluding at France's prestigious Hellfest. This extensive tour marks a crucial milestone following Grima's recent partnership with Napalm Records and the release of "Nightside".
