San Juan, Puerto Rico based progressive doom metal trio Ender premiere a visualizer video for the first single »The Obelisk« taken from their upcoming EP, »In Silent Throne«, scheduled for release on February 20th, 2026 via Praetorian Records.

Video produced by Federico Bossinga at Abstract Chaos Design.

Ender comments: “We’re excited to share that our band Ender has just released our new single »The Obelisk«, now available on all major streaming platforms. The track serves as the first preview of our upcoming EP »In Silent Throne«, which will be released on February 20, 2026 through Praetorian Records.

»The Obelisk« introduces the tone and concept of the new record with its blend of crushing riffs, heavy atmospheres, and themes of spiritual collapse and defiance. The track was mastered by Tom MacLean (Haken, To-Mera), adding an extra layer of depth and precision to the final sound.

We’ll be supporting the release with performances at upcoming metal festivals in Puerto Rico, along with a CD Release Party in February as part of the rollout for »In Silent Throne«. A full audiovisual campaign and additional content are also on the way.”

Ender is a Puerto Rican progressive doom metal band that emerged in 2021, uniting the collective talents of three musicians with over 20 years of experience into the scene. Lamplighter is a sonic journey that encompasses the band’s meticulous attention to detail, showcasing their ability to craft dark and enthralling musical landscapes.

»The Obelisk« is a song about the collapse of faith – about confronting what happens when something once sacred becomes corrupted. It reflects the tension between devotion and disillusionment, a theme that runs through the core of »In Silent Throne«. Musically, it captures who Ender is at this moment: heavy, emotional, and unafraid to explore darkness through sound. This track marks the first step into the atmosphere and intensity that define the new era of the band.
