The relentless melodic death metal quartet DREADMASK has released their gripping new single and video, “The Light” — a harrowing and emotionally charged track taken from their critically acclaimed debut EP, Thy Prime Dread, out now via Wormholedeath Records.

The song is about the devastating train crash in Greece on February 2023, showing the chaos, loss, and heartbreak that followed. It’s a harsh reminder of how greed, apathy, and incompetence can lead to tragedies. The lyrics capture the feeling of trying to hold on to hope while everything around you falls apart. It paints a vivid picture of the human cost of neglect and those in power who don’t care, asking for help when everything feels like it’s too late.

Dreadmask invites you into a twisted realm with their new single, “Jester’s Grin”—a melodic death metal journey where hidden truths lie beyond the painted smile. Feel the tension between haunting riffs and raw, guttural intensity as this track digs deep into the pain and power of a performer’s facade.

This song dives deep into the mask we wear to hide our true emotions—a fake smile that conceals the pain beneath. Like a jester performing to please, we bury our struggles while playing the role others expect. The puppets in the song symbolize the false identities we craft to fit in, but the real battle is the internal conflict between those masks and who we truly are. It’s a haunting reminder of the cost of pretending, and the toll it takes on our authentic selves.

In early 2023, a spark ignited the flames of Dreadmask, a melodic death metal band based in Eindhoven, with members originating from Greece, Hungary, and The Netherlands. Fuelled by their shared passion for meaningful heavy music, Dreadmask wasted no time in making their mark on the scene. After each member had taken a break from previous bands, John Kourentas, Elger van Delft and Antonis Mougiakakos initiated the band’s first incarnation. The group was settled when Zoltán Herczog came aboard in the summer of 2023. Dreadmask, derived from the fusion of ‘dread’ and ‘mask,’ embodies the essence of fear and concealment.

While ‘dread’ signifies the haunting grip of anxiety, ‘mask’ alludes to the veils we arise to shield our vulnerabilities. On the journey of playing the game of societal norms, we encounter our ‘Prime Dread’—our deepest fears.

Each member of Dreadmask brings their unique musical influences to the forefront, encompassing Swedish death metal riffs, growling vocals, soaring melodies, progressive metal nuances, and black metal-inspired melancholy.
