In celebration of their recently released studio album, By Night, French metal frontrunners DAGOBA return once more with the lyric video for “Sunfall”, featuring rigorous vocals and dominant blast beats!
On their beloved new album, By Night, the French bruisers once again put their stamp on the metal scene with their unique blend of metal and grooves.
DAGOBA on “Sunfall”: “We are stoked to release a lyric video for our track ‘Sunfall’. Although we already have released four video clips for our new album ‘By Night’, we had the feeling that also this track deserves a video… Now, you can all sing along at home to our single ‘Sunfall‘!”
DAGOBA deftly aces the balancing act between harsh breakdowns, dense walls of sound and grooving passages with ease. Even in its hardest passages, the album never gets too overwhelming – one smashing track is followed by the next, moving breathlessly with ease. By Night is a beast of an album showcasing how far DAGOBA can take a multitude of influences and styles and combine them effortlessly. This is a must-have for true fans of searing modern metal!
DAGOBA on the creation process of By Night: “We live in challenging times, and that’s not only because of the strength-sapping pandemic. Sometimes the world seems to be a dark place. We know it’s an ambitious project, but we really want our fans to feel good, and contribute to their happiness. Therefore, we deliver our blend of metal music. During the weeks and months in the lockdown period we had so much time to have a focus on the album production. We could look at every detail in each track, and after all By Night has become our most accomplished album so far. We are really happy with the new record and cannot wait to share it with our fans and the world.”
Modern metallers DAGOBA return with the fourth single from their upcoming album, By Night, entering the last round before the album’s long-awaited release tomorrow. The new single, “City Lights”, shines as a catchy hymn driven by shredding guitar riffs and rough vocal power – just one example that proves By Night is modern metal at its absolute finest!
DAGOBA on “City Lights”: “Fasten your seatbelts and play our fourth single as loud as possible! Tight riffing and singalong chorus vocal lines – we are proud to present you what we love doing: pure Dagoba music!”
DAGOBA on the release ofBy Night: “We are super stoked to finally release our eighth studio album! The wait has been long since we gave you Black Nova, but now it’s time for a new Dagoba era. Join our story, dive into our universe, and discover By Night as a full journey. We are beyond proud of this new album, and we can’t wait to play it live for our fans!”

Following powerful latest single “The Last Crossing”, DAGOBA’s brand new track, “On The Run”, marks a melodic moment for the French modern metal upstarts on their upcoming album, By Night, out February 18, 2022 via Napalm Records. A harmonic duet of soothing juxtaposed vocals shows DAGOBA breaking free from genre limitations once more, proving them to be on the cusp of entering the hall of fame of modern metal!
DAGOBA on the new single “On The Run”: “I always wanted to release a track which verses only contain a piano and vocals and now it’s done! The main idea was to create a contrast between the calm of the vers and the huge chords leading to the chorus, where the voice is the main line. From the begining of the writing process, I knew that a female vocalist would join me on that track, and that is also brand new for us. On The Run is a daring track, but it will make you want to play it on repeat!”
After putting their stamp on the metal scene with their unique blend of metal and neckbreaking grooves, and relentlessly touring and sharing the stage with legendary acts like Metallica, Machine Head and In Flames, the French four-piece is gearing up to reach the next level with their most ambitious material yet!

DAGOBA on their new single “The Last Crossing”: “While our last video for ‘The Hunt’ was more focused on cinematic storytelling, ‘The Last Crossing’ rather showcases the full band line-up and our strength as a performing band. We feel like DAGOBA have never been as strong and tight as now, and the ‘The Last Crossing’ video transports that energy perfectly.”

On their upcoming album, INFECTED RAIN have redefined themselves. Ecdysis electrifies with resonating riffs, cosmic electronics, Lena’s treasure trove of vocal abilities and intense lyrical themes ranging from depression and abandonment to embracing reality – showcasing the band’s advancement while blending extreme, progressive groove with dark, haunting melody.
Just recently, they’ve shared a first album appetizer, the brand new single “Postmortem Pt. 1”. The potent track dispenses the band’s patented formula instantly, with eerie synth-laden soundscapes seamlessly cascading into countless layers of cosmic atmosphere backed by thick, grooving riffs, barreling drums and skyscraper growls. Get yourself into the perfect mood of finally seeing them live again soon, and watch INFECTED RAIN’s new music video for “Postmortem Pt. 1” here:
Produced once again by Valentin Voluta, Ecdysis successfully demonstrates ultramodern brutality without sacrificing emotion and melody – showcasing a new layer of INFECTED RAIN that longtime followers and new fans alike will embrace.
“While the whole world was in a deep depression, Ecdysis was slowly but surely maturing“, Lena commented earlier. “The time in isolation away from all our plans and goals, away from loved ones and the stage, brought out something so new and different in us. A new chapter starts with this album, a chapter of raw emotions and complete commitment.”

Modern metallers DAGOBA are back! After putting their stamp on the metal scene with their unique blend of metal and neckbreaking grooves, relentlessly touring and sharing the stage with legendary acts like Machine Head and In Flames, DAGOBA have signed with leading Austrian metal label Napalm Records to bring their career to the next level.
On the new single “The Hunt”, the four-piece is back with their most ambitious material yet: punishing vocals, groove and modern metal infused guitars, and hard-hitting production prove that DAGOBA are on top of their game – pushing their boundaries and incorporating electronic elements seamlessly into their modern metal formula! Combined with an impressive, ambitious music video, DAGOBA are hinting at what they have planned for their eighth full-length album!
DAGOBA on their new single and video for “The Hunt”: “We are super stoked about this release! “The Hunt” has been our biggest video production so far, and the final result even exceeded our expectations. Being big fans of Blade Runner, Drive, and Akira, it’s super exciting to see the mix of these influences in our own music video. From writing and composing the track until its release, “The Hunt” has been a very long and tough journey for us. But the song and video we are releasing turned out to be even more exciting than we expected it when we started project “The Hunt”.
We would like to thank all our fans and backers of the project “The Hunt” who helped us bringing this ambitious video project to life. Without them, the video would not have been as cinematic as it is right now. THANK YOU!
“The Hunt” is available as a standalone single, as well as a limited 7” Vinyl that features an exclusive Remix of “The Hunt”, showcasing how far DAGOBA can take their electronic influences on their upcoming material – a must-have for true fans of modern metal!
The exciting new piece of art is stirring up the anticipation even more, as DAGOBA is currently working on their new, eighth full-length album. More to be announced soon!
