Danish electro death metal unit Lightchapter releases fourth and final single from upcoming album

, ,

The Danish electro death metal band LIGHTCHAPTER  released the fourth and final single, Restore My Faith in Sanity, from their second album, Where All Hope Begins, which will be out on September 26, 2025. The new album was created in collaboration with the legendary Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Sick of It All, Behemoth, The Haunted, etc.). In addition to the new single, the band has already released the three tracks Revenge, Little Death, and What I Have Become as well as a Spanish version of Little Death titled Reemplaza Mi Rabia in collaboration with the Colombian metal band SYRACUSÆ.

Restore My Faith in Sanity continues the sonic evolution of LIGHTCHAPTER, blending their aggressive, riff-driven foundations with haunting electronic layers — a sound that nods to the likes of Gojira, Korn, and Sepultura, while staying rooted in the band’s own dystopian metal universe. The result is a track that’s both punishing and meditative, modern and timeless.

Frontman, guitarist, singer and lyricist Mikkel Ottosen states on the song’s theme:

“The track is a searing, visceral journey into the fractured corners of the mind — a cry for clarity in a world of noise. Lyrically, the song explores a powerful internal struggle to break free from destructive habits, thought loops, and emotional paralysis. It’s a battle between darkness and lucidity, a desperate yet determined push toward healing and personal redemption.”

LIGHTCHAPTER will be playing a series of shows in Denmark in the coming months, including a release party at Radar in their hometown Aarhus on September 27. More shows will be announced soon.

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.
