German avantgarde death metal pioneers Dark Millennium have released their second single, "Witchcraft Island," from the upcoming studio album COME.
The song will be part of a larger release on May 22, 2026 via Massacre Records.
The album is set to come in three formats: Digipak CD, limited vinyl LP, and digital releases.
This marks a new chapter for Dark Millennium as they merge avantgarde death metal intensity with deep atmosphere and haunting emotional depth.
Their unique sound showcases fluid structures and eerie textures that create a constantly transforming soundscape.
Musically, "Witchcraft Island" reflects the band's non-linear songwriting approach, where compositions unfold organically rather than following conventional structures.
Dense riffs, dynamic transitions, and haunting emotional depth reward repeated listening.
Lyrically and conceptually, the song aligns with the overarching themes of COME, exploring intoxication and altered states of consciousness.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Hilton Theissen at Wide Noise Studio, the album preserves Dark Millennium's signature identity while continuing their path established with Acid River.
A notable highlight is the interplay between drummer Andre Schaltenberg and founding member Christoph Hesse throughout the record.
With COME, Dark Millennium delivers an uncompromising work that challenges perception, structure, and expectation.
