Just days before the release of their sophomore album, “Ydos” (Aug. 28, 2026, Napalm Records; get it here), Lithuania’s Black Spikes have shared the new single and video “DULKĖS.”
“The final song of ‘Ydos,’ ‘DULKĖS,’ closes the whole fairytale by returning everything to dust,” the band said. “It is about the shortness of human life and what remains after we are gone. Our bodies disappear, the past fades and the future belongs to others. But dust also carries the possibility of new life, reminding us that everything ends only to begin again.”
“Ydos” is Black Spikes’ first release with Napalm Records, coming shortly after their nomination at their home country’s Grammy-comparable M.A.M.A. Music Awards.
“‘Ydos’ is a conceptual album—a dark fairytale about human vices,” the band said. “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.”
“Ydos” will be available in the following formats:
- 1 Vinyl Marbled White/Gold/Black, incl. signed autograph card (Napalm Records exclusive)
- 1 Vinyl Solid Gold
- 1 Digisleeve CD
- Digital Album
