Benighted

Benighted to unleash 'Ekbom' album in April

With roots deeply entrenched in the macabre realms of extreme metal, Benighted have evolved from a small French band into a malevolent force, captivating fans worldwide with their skull-shattering sound and thematically explorative pieces.

Dive into the auditory abyss with 'Ekbom', Benighted's latest offering inspired by a rare neurological disorder known as "Ekbom syndrome". Brace yourself for a grotesque journey, where the ferocious music mirrors the unsettling sensations of delusional parasitosis. Pulsating with relentless brutality and weaving a tale of psychological horror, 'Ekbom' is a nightmarish album that drags listeners through the darkest recesses of the human psyche. Benighted's mastery of visceral soundscapes and thematically rich compositions culminate in a chilling sonic landscape that will linger in your consciousness long after the last brutal note.
