German thrash metallers, Bonded, continue to promote their upcoming sophomore album, Into Blackness, out worldwide on November 12 via Century Media Records. Therefor a second single off the upcoming album is being released today. Check out “Lilith (Queen Of Blood)” in a video directed by Nico Schiesewitz / VIZO Films below.

Says the band: “‘Lilith (Queen Of Blood)’ starts with a short intro by the Queen herself, performed by RægIna from Dæmonesq, then followed by a real thrash metal thunderstorm. Neck-breaking, hectic, brutal and crowned with an epic chorus. Again an interplay between brutal intensity and catchy hooklines. ‘Lilith’ is highlighted by Makka’s powerful drumming and a cool lead guitar duel. A typical Bonded track with tons of riffs, double bass attacks, breaks and so much more! Lyrically, the song is the next track on Into Blackness that represents the conceptional storyline embedded in 4 songs of the album inspired by the fictional book “The Division Of The Damned” by Richard Rhys Jones. It introduces the appearance of an old, ancient female entity - a (blood) goddess called Lilith - the queen of blood!"

Bonded, the group by former Sodom members Bernd “Bernemann” Kost (Guitars) and Markus “Makka” Freiwald (Drums) alongside second guitarist Chris Tsitsis (ex-Suicidal Angels), bassist Marc Hauschild and vocalist Ingo Bajonczak (Assassin), have decided to stick to their guns and once again collaborated with producer Cornelius Rambadt (Sodom, Disbelief, Onkel Tom) at the Rambado Recording Studio in Essen, Germany and also had Björn Gooßes / Killustrations (Aborted, The Crown, Carnal Forge) create the album’s artwork, just like on their Rest In Violence debut album from 2020.

The album’s limited first-pressing CD edition will come with O-Card packaging, a sticker and two bonus tracks: "Humanity On Sale" and "Will To Survive". Into Blackness will also be available as 180g black vinyl on the LP format. Pre-order here.
