Sludge/death metal juggernauts HALFLIGHTED present their latest offering to the metal world. The band is thrilled to announce the release of the official music video for their track “Ànima Fosca,” taken from their highly acclaimed album “Obloquy,” available now via Wormholedeath.

“Ànima Fosca” delves into a world of darkness and introspection. They paint a vivid picture of a desolate landscape where the sun hides, demons lurk in the shadows, and tormented souls face punishment in the depths of hell. the song evokes a bleak and introspective mood, exploring themes of existential questioning, inner turmoil, and the struggle to break free.

“We are proud to share with you our brand new video clip for Ànima Fosca, a bleak tale of inner struggle and despair. This is the first instance in which we display ourselves performing, but it certainly won’t be the last!”

Halflighted was born in 2018 in Catalonia, conceived by the minds of Óskart and Mark following the disbandment of Mark’s previous Death Metal project, Dryzer. What started as a Death Doom Metal endeavor slowly evolved into an eclectic and genre-defying force as the current line-up solidified over the years.

Halflighted’s “Obloquy” is the fusion of five completely divergent influences, converging at a point far removed from any compromises with the listener. This extraordinary album presents a potent blend of sludge-infused melodies, exploring Gothic undertones, unleashing Death Metal forces, infusing Progressive nuances, adorned with classic Rock drumming, and laced with an enchanting touch of Psychedelia. “Obloquy” is a genre-defying opus, an unyielding testament to the boundless creativity of Halflighted.

The band’s lineup comprises:
Óskart: Guitar
Mark: Bass, Vocals
Varg The Mighty: Guitar, Synth, Vocals
Pepe: Drums
MAD: Vocals

Sludge/Death Metal sensations HALFLIGHTED have released a new lyric video for “This Winding Path,” a track taken from their upcoming album Obloquy, which is set to be released via Wormholedeath worldwide.

The song features the words of Virgil’s Aeneid, “Whence is this sudden sheen of weather?”, which explores the human experience of facing unexpected and uncertain situations, and struggling to find meaning and purpose in the face of adversity. Through the track, Halflighted brings to light the vulnerability and fragility of human beliefs and faith, and the ways in which they can be both empowering and deceptive.

The five members of Halflighted are known for their unique blend of musical tastes, which fiercely clash to spawn Sludge-infused songs that explore Gothic undertones, Death Metal forces, Progressive tints, classic Rock drumming, a fair amount of Psychedelia, and many more influences.

The new lyric video for “This Winding Path” is a powerful visual representation of the song’s message, crafted by the talented team at Volume Agency.
