NAILED TO OBSCURITY have released a video for ‘Glass Beeding‘, the latest single from their fifth studio album, Generation Of The Void, which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records! In celebration of the album’s release day, an atmospheric music video is being released alongside the single. Scroll down to check it out.
Dynamic album opening track ‘Glass Bleeding‘ offers a preview of the stylistic variety that Nailed To Obscurity have perfected with Generation Of The Void, shifting with ease between hard-hitting death metal passages, ethereal clean parts and anthemic sing-alongs.
With Generation Of The Void, NAILED TO OBSCURITY have crafted their most mature and expansive album to date. The album reflects the turmoil of the post-pandemic era, the shadows of war in Europe, and the relentless changes affecting all of humanity. Beyond its political and social commentary, the album also dives deep into personal struggles, confronting themes of dark emotions, depression, and fear. Every note, every lyric carries the weight of uncertainty and disillusionment, while no one knows what one will find within the void or beyond.
NAILED TO OBSCURITY commented: “We are beyond excited that our new album Generation Of The Void is finally out today. It feels amazing to share not only the singles you’ve already heard, but also all the other songs that complete the journey. We can’t wait for you to dive into the full record and discover everything we’ve been working on.
Alongside the album, we’re thrilled to unveil the brand-new video for ‘Glass Bleeding’. We chose this track to open the record because it perfectly introduces what’s to come – moving from mellow, moody atmospheres into crushingly heavy riffs and blast beats. It sets the tone for the entire album and paves the way for everything that follows.”
NAILED TO OBSCURITY have released a video for the stunning title track of their upcoming fifth studio album, Generation Of The Void, which will be out on September 5th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. The song ‘Generation Of The Void‘ features an epic chorus unlike anything in the band’s previous works and it underlines the versatility of the new record along side a potent message about our connection and interaction with each other.
NAILED TO OBSCURITY commented: “‘Generation Of The Void’ is a mirror held up to a world that feels increasingly disconnected. We tried to capture the overwhelming sense of unease that defines our time, but also the inner battles we all face. It’s a song that grew out of chaos, but from a desire to understand and endure.“

NAILED TO OBSCURITY are excited to reveal the name and release date of their fifth studio album, Generation Of The Void, which will be out on September 5th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. Alongside the announcement of the pre-order, a music video for the new single ‘Overcast‘ has been unveiled.
NAILED TO OBSCURITY commented: “We are beyond excited to finally share this with all of you. Generation Of The Void marks a new era for Nailed To Obscurity — heavier, darker, more dynamic than anything we’ve ever done before. This album is the result of years of evolution, and it’s our most atmospheric and intense journey yet, pushing every boundary we’ve ever set for ourselves.”
“‘Overcast‘ captures the bleakness of a world in ruins — a driving, post-apocalyptic anthem with a haunting melody and an eruption of raw, relentless energy. It’s a song about finding the strength to move on when everything familiar has turned to dust. We can’t wait to play this one live on our upcoming headline tour this fall!“

The production quality on Generation Of The Void marks a significant step up, pushing NAILED TO OBSCURITY‘s sound to an entirely new level. This album also introduces a new dimension to the band’s sonic identity, featuring an unprecedented balance between their signature crushing growls and a greater emphasis on clean vocals. While clean singing has always been part of their sound, Generation Of The Void takes it further—some songs feature only clean vocals, others are dominated by growls, and most strike a dynamic balance between the two.
Recorded between 2021 and 2024, the album sees the band reaching new creative depths. Guitars, bass, and drums were laid down at Woodshed Studios in Landshut, Germany, while vocals were recorded by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark. Additional elements, such as synths and extra guitar layers, were produced by Lamberti himself at the band’s headquarters in East Frisia. Production duties were shared between V. Santura, Jacob Hansen, and Lamberti, with Hansen handling the final mix and master, ensuring a sound that is both expansive and intimate.
The album’s artwork and layout were crafted by renowned artist Giannis Nakos, visually embodying the record’s dark and introspective themes.

Ahead of their European tour alongside ELUVEITIE, AMORPHIS and DARK TRANQUILLITY German melodic death metallers NAILED TO OBSCURITY have released a new single and video titled ‘Clouded Frame’. A dark and sinister masterpiece, ‘Clouded Frame’ combines the band’s signature growled vocals and lurching riffs with brooding melodies. Watch the video for ‘Clouded Frame’ here:
Raimund Ennenga:“Sometimes you struggle to get all the bits and pieces together to memorize a stroke of fate correctly, but you come to realize that certain details became unreachable. They stay hidden in the blind spot of your memory. You are standing in front of the ‘Clouded Frame’, but it’s just impossible to get a proper view of what’s inside. We took this idea as the central image of the song ‘Clouded Frame’ which – in our point of view – really captures this emotion with its eruptive moments as well as its mellow and very fragile chorus.”

Hailing from Northern Germany, NAILED TO OBSCURITY have successfully created their own distinctive, progressive style of death doom. Their underground debut Abyss… provided the first glimmers of this sound, that they’d go on to develop across their albums Opaque (2013), King Delusion (2017) and most recently Black Frost (2019), which charted on #37 in the German charts. Their melancholic songs never fall short of the necessary brutality, creating a dynamic and distinctly mesmerising experience for the listener. Throughout their career, the band have performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Bloodstock, Brutal Assault and Party.San Open Air and have toured throughout Europe with the likes of AMORPHIS, SOILWORK, JINJER, DARK TRANQUILLITY, EQUILIBRIUM and LORD OF THE LOST as well as appearing alongside renowned acts such as ARCH ENEMY, PARADISE LOST and AT THE GATES.
