Atmospheric black metal four piece Grima – release new single “Beyond the Dark Horizon” + Video!

Just a few days until the release of GRIMA´s sixth studio album and Napalm Records debut Nightside –  out this Friday, February 28, 2025 via Napalm Records – the Siberian atmospheric black metal force reveal their third single “Beyond the Dark Horizon”GRIMA sketches a desolate, twilight-bound world where sorrow stretches endlessly beyond the skyline, and a mighty black river carves its path through the kingdom of shadows. The equally beautiful and sorrowful melody mirrors the inexorable passage of time, carrying the listener through spectral landscapes where fate is bound to darkness – a perfect melody for nightmares.

After several shows across Europe, including some with fast-rising German death metal force Kanonenfieber, GRIMA are set to honor the spirit of the Siberian Forest, Taiga, once more on Nightside. In addition to their unforgettable sound, the band’s look – towering like living trees with intimidating carved wooden masks and branched fingers – adds another haunting element to their brutal yet beautiful output.

GRIMA about the new single “Beyond the Dark Horizon”:
“The icy waters of the mighty Yenisei river, upon which our hometown of Krasnoyarsk stands, remain unfrozen even in the bitter cold of -40°C. This river carries an untamed force, flowing endlessly beyond the horizon, vanishing into the vast unknown. It is more than a current—it is a symbol of relentless motion, shrouded in the depths of darkness. Day after day, it fills an abyss without end. Its frigid waves wash over the shores, seeping into the hearts of those who dwell nearby, leaving them with a yearning for warmth that will never come. Hope drowns in its depths, and somewhere beyond the black line of the horizon, an unseen fate awaits.“

GRIMA about the album:
GRIMA is a secretive cult devoted to an ancient, long-forgotten Siberian forest deity, lying in wait, shrouded within the endless embrace of the Taiga. Our music is a ritual of reverence to the ancient magic of the forest, an endless dance of mysterious entities and ancient spirits, a beautiful and terrifying legend cloaked in the form of Siberian Atmospheric Black Metal. Nightside is a mysterious and melodic recording, infused with the mesmerizing cold of the Siberian night wilderness—brutal, yet equally beautiful and irresistibly alluring. A mysterious nocturnal land where winds slam the shutters of cabins in abandoned villages, guiding stars only lead you deeper into the silver storm, and a dead man is knocking his claw on an ancient pine, counting down the remaining time of yet another lost.”
