Greek heavy metal force NIGHTSTEEL – featuring an international lineup of world-class musicians – drop an official video for the album’s heavy metal anthem “Carry On”, one of the most epic and emotionally charged tracks from their acclaimed self-titled debut album.

Originally available only as part of the “Nightsteel” album, “Carry On” now takes the spotlight as a standalone single, accompanied by a stunning music video that brings its intense message to life.

Firmly rooted in classic heavy metal, “Carry On” combines grandeur with emotion, driven by soaring melodies. The songwriting was crafted by the band’s mastermind Bill, while the vocal melodies were developed and delivered with power and emotion by Travis Wills. The song also features standout guitar solos by virtuoso Igor Paspalj, adding a fiery edge to the composition.

“’Carry On’ was a fun song, as I got to contribute to some of the melody writing on this. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did,” says Travis.

“’Carry On’ speaks of those who walk through fire and ruins with nothing left but each other. It’s about love, loyalty, and the unbroken will to keep moving forward, even when the world around you collapses,” says Bill.

Mike shares:

“‘Carry On’ is an epic anthem that builds the sense of determination. Bill’s songwriting brings a raw, romantic energy to the track, while his lyrics capture the essence of enduring love and strength. Hope the drums brought that powerful message to life! Can’t wait for fans to hear it!“

The single’s cover artwork reflects this narrative powerfully: it portrays a king and queen emerging through flames, crossing the wreckage of war-torn ruins as they fight their way to salvation – unscathed, but forever changed.

The video captures this energy with dark, cinematic visuals and intense performance shots, staying true to NIGHTSTEEL’s mission to deliver meaningful, heavy metal with heart and power.

The single “Carry On” is now available on all major streaming platforms. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGntrpXh7lk

The up and coming Greek heavy metal band NIGHTSTEEL released their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, “Nightsteel”, on April 11th, 2025, via Cosmic Fire Records. 

Today they drop an official video for the album’s blasting heavy metal anthem “Darkness Reigns”.

“Darkness Reigns” is a track that encapsulates the album’s heavy & powerful intensity. The lyrics dive deep into the inner struggles, blending raw emotion with a powerful, melodic punch. The video brings that energy to life, making it a real kick in the ass with a new level of intensity for the band. The video features striking visuals of vocalist Travis Wills singing with incredible passion in the studio.

Travis Wills comments:

“‘Darkness Reigns’ is straight up in your face… killer riffs, perfect example of old school in your face metal. I really enjoyed working on this song. Bill plays awesome on this, and the whole band is just in the pocket tight… really honored to be part of this cool project”! 

“This song is about fighting the war inside — and not backing down. That’s what ‘Darkness Reigns’ means to me. I really pushed Travis, Mike, and Jasmin to their limits. But they nailed everything exactly how I envisioned it. Their performances are exactly what I wanted — raw, intense, and full of power”, says Bill Sam.

Jasmin elaborates:

“‘Darkness Reigns’ had probably one of the most challenging solos I’ve ever played – both technically and emotionally. Bill Sam had a clear vision for every note on this album and that really pushed me to do my best. There was already so much emotion in the solos, so my goal was to channel that energy and make it speak. Nightsteel isn’t just a heavy record – it’s inspired, focused and full of heart. I am proud to have been a part of it”.

Mike shares:

“‘Darkness Reigns’ is here! Had a killer time recording drums on this speed anthem. Pure power metal fury from start to finish. Bill’s writing hits like a hammer”!

Hailing from Athens, Greece, this rising force in the heavy metal scene is set to make waves with their explosive sound and unrelenting energy, marking a bold entry into the global metal landscape.

Released via Cosmic Fire Records, “Nightsteel” is an 11-track powerhouse that blends classic heavy & power metal influences with a modern edge, showcasing the band’s signature style — thunderous riffs, soaring vocals, and an unapologetic devotion to the genre.

NIGHTSTEEL’s debut album is a must-listen for fans of classic heavy/power metal and acts such as Judas Priest, Savatage, Helloween, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, Riot, Accept, Bonfire, Crimson Glory, and Manowar.

“Nightsteel” is available on digipak CD, a limited black vinyl edition (only 300 copies), and digital.

About NIGHTSTEEL: 

Nightsteel is a brand-new Greek metal band that embodies the spirit of classic 80s metal, reviving the magic of the genre in a very special way. Their music will take you back to the old glory days of the 80’s when heavy metal music was on top of the game!

It all started back in 2022 with an idea that songwriter & bassist Bill Sam had and that is how Nightsteel was born. While working on some old demo songs along with new ones, he asked his friend and drummer Mike Foudotos to join the band and take the project to the next level.

After working with some local vocalists, Bill decided to go a step further and work with some of the most notable and up-and-coming vocalists in the metal scene. He first contacted Travis Wills (Crimson Glory, Infidel Rising), who was blown away by the songs and agreed to sing on the album. Unfortunately, due to Travis’ busy recording and touring schedule, he wasn’t able to finish all of the songs, so Bill also enlisted Craig Cairns (Tailgunner, ex Induction), Rob Lundgren (Reveal, Mystery Moon), and Mauro Elias to sing on the remaining songs. In addition, the virtuoso guitar player Igor Paspalj (Guitarist of the Year 2020 by Guitar World and Guitar Player magazines), agreed to play solos on two songs. The line-up was completed with Jasmin M. on guitars and keys.

NIGHTSTEEL are:
Bill Sam – Bass, songwriting, backing vocals
Travis Wills – Vocals, backing vocals
Igor Paspalj – Lead guitars

Greek heavy metallers NIGHTSTEEL are back with their blistering new single, “Warlord’s Betrayal”, that is sure to captivate fans of the band and many others! This crushing masterpiece features the band’s signature heavy riffing, thunderous drumming and the breathtaking vocals of Travis Wills (Crimson Glory), putting NIGHTSTEEL on the map as one of the new hot names in the heavy metal scene.

“Warlord’s Betrayal” is more than just a song – it’s the climactic continuation of the saga that began with NIGHTSTEEL’s self-titled debut single. Picking up where the first chapter left off, this tense and powerful track closes the curtain on the epic battles that have defined the band’s story-driven sound. Accompanied by a stunning lyric video, the single brings the narrative to life with intense, cinematic war-torn scenes that amplify the song’s raw energy and emotional depth.

“We wanted to take our fans deeper into the world we started building with our debut single”, says Bill. “‘Warlord’s Betrayal’ is the payoff – an unrelenting, betrayal-fueled finale that ties the story together while hitting harder than ever. This is the second song I wrote after ‘Nightsteel’, and Travis delivered the vocals exactly as I imagined. I wanted the song to have the perfect mix of power and emotion. It’s in a way related to the self-titled song, and that’s why the video is like a continuation of it. If you fancy the homonymous song, you’re gonna dig this one as well”.

“‘Warlord’s Betrayal’ is a great song, up tempo and in your face… definitely a song to get a speeding ticket with… great melodies and hooks, I hope you love it as much as I do”!, comments Travis Wills.

Guitarist Jasmin elaborates:

“Bill is a real perfectionist – nothing is finished until every detail is just right. I even reached a point where, even in my sleep, I saw myself shredding! This song is one of my favorites on the album, and I’m really proud of everything we achieved”.

Drummer Mike notes:

“Had a blast laying down the drums for this beast of a song. Shoutout to my buddy Bill for crafting this masterpiece and to Travis for crushing the vocals. Metalheads, this one’s for you”!

Fans of NIGHTSTEEL’s debut will recognize the seamless blend of musical ferocity and storytelling prowess, while newcomers will be drawn in by the sheer power of this heavy metal anthem. Available now, “Warlord’s Betrayal” invites listeners to hit play and experience the climactic end of this unforgettable metal odyssey.
