Speed metallers KNIFE share their next swath of destruction into the scene – the German band’s furious third album, Into Your Nightmare, releases December 18, 2026 via Napalm Records. Just in time for the holiday season, the four-piece celebrates the unholy trinity of speed metal, black metal, and scabious punk. Into Your Nightmare is heavier, wilder, and definitely more grim than previous releases, resuming KNIFE’s path authentically.
Together with the announcement comes the first single. “Shadows” immediately pulls listeners into the eponymous darkness. Into Your Nightmare’s closing track is rapid, shrieking, and brings an energy that will hold you by the neck even after the last note has faded away. If you don’t instantly replay the song, that is.
KNIFE über „Shadows“:
“KNIFE are back with a vengeance. Once again, a raging tornado of pure Speed Metal is ascending from Hell. The first single, ‘Shadows’, is fast as a shark, ready to break your neck. Join the pack of Black Leather Hounds and celebrate the first onslaught of our new album, Into Your Nightmare.”
Into Your Nightmare is sinister, raw, and impressively precise in its frenzy. Watch out – as this nightmare won’t let you go!
