DEHYDRATED Honor Contrast and Memory on "Lighthouse"

Russian death metal outfit DEHYDRATED unveil Lighthouse, a new single presented through an official video that confronts the full emotional spectrum of human experience. Rooted in heaviness but driven by reflection, the track moves beyond aggression alone, embracing contrast as its core theme. From moments of intensity to passages of restraint, Lighthouse stands as a deliberate and emotionally charged release within the band’s catalog.

The band describe the song as a reflection of life’s extremes, stating: “The moments of our lives are very contrasting; sometimes we have a lot of adrenaline and energy, sometimes anger and misunderstanding, sometimes lightness and acceptance, sometimes sadness and grief… This new track is about all of that.” That philosophy is woven directly into the structure of Lighthouse, allowing shifting moods and dynamics to shape the song’s impact rather than forcing a single emotional lane.

Lighthouse also carries a deeply personal weight, serving as a tribute to the band’s close friend Alexander Zorkaltsev. The official video reinforces this sense of remembrance, pairing the song’s intensity with a tone of reflection and loss. Rather than dramatizing grief, the presentation remains grounded, giving space for the message to resonate naturally through the music.

With Lighthouse, DEHYDRATED deliver more than a death metal release — they offer a reminder of fragility, presence, and meaning. As the band express, “Please, cherish the loved ones who are by your side, and your life itself, while you have it with all its manifestations.” Heavy, sincere, and deeply human, Lighthouse stands as both a memorial and a moment of clarity within chaos.
