Pre-Order: Knife – Into Your Nightmare [CD]

“Speed metallers KNIFE share their next swath of destruction into the scene the German bands furious third album, Into Your Nightmare, releases December 18, 2026 via Napalm Records. Just in time for the holiday season, the four-piece celebrates the unholy trinity of speed metal, black metal, and scabious punk. Into Your Nightmare is heavier, wilder, and definitely more grim than previous releases, resuming KNIFEs path authentically.

Leading into the darkness is Nightmare, a track that KNIFE have already unleashed on live audiences. Sawing riffs and a crushing bass line open up the gates to metal hell, flanked by thunderous drums and frontman Vince Nihil demanding, Follow me into your nightmare. In the underworld, Sulphur bows to the Gods of rocknroll, while Teeth Of The Devil emerges as the snappiest song in the bands career so far. Crust punk, thrash, and death metal get put through the meat grinder to make up a proper portion of deadly lunacy. With galloping Sound Of The Requiem Bell and the following instrumental interlude, Home Came The Nameless Dead, KNIFE are opening up to classic 80s heavy metal featuring their trademark energy. The second half of the album first sweeps over listeners with Gehenna and its speed metal-heavy melodies and catchy chorus, ready to become the next live classic. Insanity offers what its title states, heading back into darkness. Just like on their first demo, Black Leather Hounds (2020), KNIFE pay homage to the true metal maniax on Into Your Nightmare, having Raging Metal serve just that. Gospel Of The Grotesque leans into extreme metal of the 80s, after which Shadows bundles all of KNIFEs strengths unmistakable proof of the band refining their sound.

Into Your Nightmare is sinister, raw, and impressively precise in its frenzy. Watch out as this nightmare wont let you go!
