Ahead of their European tour alongside ELUVEITIE, AMORPHIS and DARK TRANQUILLITY German melodic death metallers NAILED TO OBSCURITY have released a new single and video titled 'Clouded Frame'. A dark and sinister masterpiece, 'Clouded Frame' combines the band's signature growled vocals and lurching riffs with brooding melodies.
Raimund Ennenga: "Sometimes you struggle to get all the bits and pieces together to memorize a stroke of fate correctly, but you come to realize that certain details became unreachable. They stay hidden in the blind spot of your memory. You are standing in front of the 'Clouded Frame', but it's just impossible to get a proper view of what's inside.
We took this idea as the central image of the song 'Clouded Frame' which - in our point of view - really captures this emotion with its eruptive moments as well as its mellow and very fragile chorus."

Hailing from Northern Germany, NAILED TO OBSCURITY have successfully created their own distinctive, progressive style of death doom. Their underground debut Abyss... provided the first glimmers of this sound, that they'd go on to develop across their albums Opaque (2013), King Delusion (2017), and most recently Black Frost (2019), which charted at #37 in the German charts. Their melancholic songs never fall short of the necessary brutality, creating a dynamic and distinctly mesmerizing experience for the listener. Throughout their career, the band have performed at festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Bloodstock, Brutal Assault, and Party. San Open Air and have toured throughout Europe with the likes of AMORPHIS, SOILWORK, JINJER, DARK TRANQUILLITY, EQUILIBRIUM, and LORD OF THE LOST as well as appearing alongside renowned acts such as ARCH ENEMY, PARADISE LOST, and AT THE GATES.
