German Symphonic Metallers DARK LIGHTNING have revealed the first single and video ‘Beautiful Beast’, taken from the band’s upcoming debut album “The Demons We Create”, set to be self-released on December 6th.

Singer Lea takes a deeper look at “Beautiful Beast“:
“‘Beautiful Beast‘ deals with the attraction of a toxic person.
It’s a warning about the person – the ‘beast’.
She is described as gentle and beautiful, with an outward appearance of ‘virgin-like purity’, so to speak, and a silky voice. But appearances are deceptive, because once you have allowed yourself to be dazzled, there is no escape. The beast will use you ruthlessly and make your life hell.
Musically, the song is based on a recurring guitar riff, which is introduced to the listener right at the beginning by a string intro. The track represents the wilder, rougher side of DARK LIGHTNING, but despite its straightforwardness, it is not too simple, especially thanks to the varied middle section.”
