Hibernaut announces the release of their latest single »Beset« with an exclusive B-side »Dark-Light«, available June 13, 2025. The songs are the latest glimpse into the band’s upcoming concept album »Obsidian Eye«. Listen HERE.
»Beset« is the album’s climactic chapter – a slow-burning doom epic that narrates the fall of a village overtaken by cosmic forces. Rooted in classic doom traditions, the track blends plodding heaviness with expansive, psychedelic progressions.
The B-side »Dark-Light« offers a postscript to the album’s narrative, told from the perspective of the »Obsidian Eye« – the eldritch entity consuming humanity. Featuring swirling dual guitar leads and shapeshifting riffs, the track showcases Hibernaut’s ability to blend heaviness with atmosphere and mood.
A music video for »Dark-Light« will also premiere alongside the release.
For fans of Electric Wizard, Windhand, YOB, and the unknowable beyond.
