Danish electro death metallers Lightchapter dives into the dark on new single and video 'Revenge' • GRIMM Gent

Danish metal band LIGHTCHAPTER unleashed ‘Revenge‘ – the first of a string of singles leading up to a bigger release in the fall. Melding brutal death metal riffs with 80s synth-driven soundscapes, this electro-death assault is raw, cinematic, and unyielding. An assault which can be witnessed when LIGHTCHAPTER performs live in Denmark in the coming months.

Frontman, guitarist, singer and lyricist Mikkel Ottosen states about the song:

“’Revenge’ delves into the inner struggle between morality and darkness. The song is told through a fictional character who, despite having a strong moral compass, gives in to his anger and the injustices life has dealt him.”

Formed in Jutland, Denmark, in 2020, LIGHTCHAPTER consists of four experienced metal musicians with backgrounds in The Burning, Diamond Drive, The Hive Mind, and The Silent Low. From the outset, the band sought to carve out its own identity within modern death metal, blending groovy metal with ’80s synths and drum machines—a style they have dubbed “Electro Death Metal.”

Following a few initial singles in 2020, LIGHTCHAPTER released their 2022 EP It All Ends Tonight, which, along with their 2023 debut album Time To Obey, firmly put them on the map. The album’s release was followed by a Denmark tour, showcases in Germany, and performances at festivals such as SPOT, Uhørt, Aalborg Metal Festival, and Copenhagen Metal Fest, all solidifying their reputation as a powerful live act.

Now, LIGHTCHAPTER returns with new material produced in collaboration with legendary producer Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Sick of It All, Behemoth, The Haunted, etc.). Fans can expect a series of hard-hitting singles in the coming months, as well as new live shows to be announced along the way.
