BLIGHTED EYE Launch New Song, New Album Coming This Fall!


Seattle's progressive blackened death quartet BLIGHTED EYE has shared the lyric video for "A Reverent Stillness," the newest single off their upcoming second studio album, Agony's Bespoke.


The band comments on the song, "The penultimate track from our forthcoming full-length Agony’s Bespoke, “A Reverent Stillness” is in a way the perfect snapshot of the album as a whole. As the first song written during this album cycle, it interweaves catchy melodic leads, dense atmospheric sections, and a more grim and frostbitten approach to melodic death metal riffing, all bolstered by a thunderous and ever-present rhythm section. Thematically, the song is simultaneously triumphant and hopeless as the character at the center of Agony’s story has finally achieved the vengeance he long sought, but at a heavy physical and psychological cost."

Agony's Bespoke is a monumental, hour-long work, marking a new height for the band's growing skills of songwriting and storytelling. Theatrical and immersive, the album is heavily inspired by the 2018 Australian film, "Nightingale," and tells a similarly tragic story. Highlighting the transformative power of violence and the ultimate futility of revenge, the album seeks to explore the lasting emotional and psychological impact of trauma.


Beyond The Top Records will release Agony's Bespoke on digipak CD, limited-edition vinyl, and digital formats on September 20. Pre-orders are available at:
