BENIGHTED Unleash Relentless Precision With “The Spineless Freak”


French extreme metal titans BENIGHTED return in devastating form with “The Spineless Freak,” an official music video recorded at Kohlekeller Studio that serves as a brutal introduction to the band’s new drummer, Matthias Biechler. Stripped of distraction and excess, the release puts the spotlight squarely on rhythm, violence, and control.

Functioning essentially as a drum playthrough, the video features no appearances from the other band members, allowing Biechler’s performance to dominate the frame. Every blast beat, fill, and tempo shift is captured with surgical clarity, showcasing explosive precision and suffocating intensity that perfectly matches BENIGHTED’s uncompromising sonic identity.

The visual minimalism amplifies the tension, turning each moment into an invasive display of endurance and technical ferocity. The absence of narrative or performance theatrics reinforces the message. This is about discipline, extremity, and total command behind the kit.

With “The Spineless Freak,” BENIGHTED make a clear statement about their next chapter. Introducing Matthias Biechler not with words, but with sheer brutality, the band reaffirm their position as one of the most ruthless and exacting forces in extreme metal today.
