After several years of silence, NOTHGARD break their creative hibernation and rise anew with "Opium Dreams", a haunting and emotionally charged return to form that redefines the band's signature mix of epic melodic Death Metal.
The new single channels NOTHGARD's renowned technical precision while expanding their sonic identity with a deeper sense of atmosphere, narrative weight and cinematic intensity. Lyrically rooted in themes of loss, obsession and transcendence, "Opium Dreams" bridges modern heaviness with melodic depth, forging a sound that feels both intimate and colossal.
Composed and produced by Dom R. Crey at Splendid Wave Studios, the track unfolds with meticulous detail and a sweeping orchestral arrangement crafted by Corvin Bahn, adding layers of intense and emotional tension. The single further ascends with the arresting guest vocals of Giulia Claussen, while the mastering touch of Benjamin Lawrenz brings the piece to its full sonic impact.
Accompanying the release is a visually striking music video - dark, atmospheric and unmistakably cinematic. Produced and directed by Giulia Claussen and Christian Lim, the video immerses viewers in an aesthetic world that mirrors the song's themes of inner descent and fragile hope. Lim's work in cinematography, camera and lighting shapes the video's brooding visual language.
