Danish electro death metallers Lightchapter releases second single ‘Little Death’

The Danish metal band LIGHTCHAPTER releases their brand new single Little Death — the second in a series of singles leading up to the band’s sophomore album, set for release this fall. The first single, Revenge, dropped in March, and together with Little Death, the two tracks offer a striking showcase of the band’s fusion of brutal death metal riffs and ‘80s-inspired synth soundscapes — a raw, cinematic, and relentless electro-death assault.

Frontman, guitarist, singer and lyricist Mikkel Ottosen states about ‘Little Death’:

“With ‘Little Death’, we show that we dare to push boundaries and write even catchier than before – without losing edge and intensity. The lyrics depict a relationship where identity crises and distance pose a threat, but where intimacy becomes the path to reconciliation and unity.”

Formed in Jutland, Denmark, in 2020, LIGHTCHAPTER consists of four experienced metal musicians with backgrounds in The Burning, Diamond Drive, The Hive Mind, and The Silent Low. From the outset, the band sought to carve out its own identity within modern death metal, blending groovy metal with ’80s synths and drum machines—a style they have dubbed “Electro Death Metal.”

Following a few initial singles in 2020, LIGHTCHAPTER released their 2022 EP It All Ends Tonight, which, along with their 2023 debut album Time To Obey, firmly put them on the map. The album’s release was followed by a Denmark tour, showcases in Germany, and performances at festivals such as SPOT, Uhørt, Aalborg Metal Festival, and Copenhagen Metal Fest, all solidifying their reputation as a powerful live act.

Now, LIGHTCHAPTER returns with new material produced in collaboration with legendary producer Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Sick of It All, Behemoth, The Haunted, etc.), and fans can expect a series of hard-hitting singles in the coming months. The band will perform live at  Ribe Metal Festival on August 23rd, and more shows will be announced along the way.
