WALK IN DARKNESS Share Haunting New Video “Nico Rising”

Italian gothic metal outfit WALK IN DARKNESS return with a haunting new visual for “Nico Rising,” a powerful track taken from their latest album Gods Don’t Take Calls, released on December 12, 2025. Dark, cinematic, and emotionally charged, the song opens the record with a dramatic surge of atmosphere, blending gothic melancholy with the band’s signature orchestral weight and soaring metal intensity.

Driven by the unmistakable voice of Nicoletta Rosellini and the visionary songwriting of guitarist and composer Shaman, “Nico Rising” sets the tone for the album’s immersive narrative. The track captures the band’s ability to fuse haunting melodies, symphonic textures, and crushing guitars into a soundscape that feels both intimate and epic, pulling listeners deeper into the emotional core of the record.

The official video visually mirrors the song’s dark elegance, presenting a moody and evocative aesthetic that enhances the track’s sense of mystery and awakening. As the opening statement of Gods Don’t Take Calls, the song stands as a gateway into the album’s thematic world—where introspection, transformation, and shadow-laden beauty collide.

With “Nico Rising,” WALK IN DARKNESS once again demonstrate why they remain one of the most distinctive voices in modern gothic metal—crafting music that is as cinematic as it is deeply human, inviting listeners into a realm where darkness becomes something strangely beautiful.
