Black Spikes – have released the new single, “Revana”

Just back from their tour with INFECTED RAIN, avant-garde quintet BLACK SPIKES release a second single from their upcoming album, Ydos, which will be released on August 28, 2026 via Napalm Records. “REVANA” continues the album concept in which every song depicts one of humankind’s vices: a personification of revenge, haunting the Lithuanian breakout band’s dark realms with beautiful melodies, “REVANA” adds highly recognizable riffs to the album. Alongside the song, BLACK SPIKES release a cinematic video.
 
BLACK SPIKES about “REVANA”:
“REVANA is the name that we’ve chosen for revenge. Revenge promises closure but often delivers continuation. It keeps the story going instead of ending it. You don’t ‘get even’—you stay entangled. In the music video, we depict a story inspired by the witch hunts that also reached Lithuania in the 17th century. Women who stood out for their curiosity or who did not easily fit into society were often falsely accused of witchcraft and revenged by death sentence for causing misfortunes in their communities.”

 
BLACK SPIKES about Ydos:
Ydos is a conceptual album—a dark fairytale about human vices. The idea was there from the very beginning and guided the entire songwriting process. Each vice has its own name and story, and many songs will be brought to life through music videos where these vices take shape. It was our first time creating a conceptual album, and we really enjoyed starting with an idea and expressing it through music.”
