German avantgarde death metal pioneers Dark Millennium unveil their second single and lyric video »Witchcraft Island«, taken from the upcoming studio album »Come«, set for release on May 22, 2026 via Massacre Records.

Pre-order the album HERE.

Following the first single »Amber«, which introduced listeners to the album’s hypnotic and immersive atmosphere, »Witchcraft Island« opens another door into the strange and shifting sonic universe of »Come«.

With »Witchcraft Island«, Dark Millennium once again demonstrate their unmistakable ability to merge avantgarde death metal intensity with deep atmosphere, fluid structures and haunting emotional depth.

The track unfolds like a ritualistic journey through unstable perceptions, balancing heaviness and abstraction in a way only Dark Millennium can achieve.

Musically, the song captures the band’s non-linear songwriting approach, where compositions evolve organically rather than following conventional structures. Dense riffs, eerie textures and dynamic transitions create a constantly transforming soundscape that rewards repeated listening.

Lyrically and conceptually, the track perfectly reflects the overarching themes of »Come« – an album centered around intoxication and altered states of consciousness, exploring the fragile boundary between reality and illusion.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Hilton Theissen at Wide Noise Studio, »Come« embraces an organic, retro-inspired analogue sound while continuing the artistic path established with »Acid River«.

With »Witchcraft Island«, Dark Millennium offer another compelling glimpse into one of 2026’s most distinctive extreme metal releases.
