Speed metallers KNIFE dive deeper into their upcoming third album with another single. The de-facto title track “Nightmare” is the opening track to Into Your Nightmare, which releases on December 18, 2026 via Napalm Records. Building up slowly and atmospherically, it explodes into a raw speed metal attack, pulling anyone into the dark that is brave enough to give it a listen.
 
KNIFE about „Nightmare”:
“‘Nightmare’ has already been baptized by fire during the summer festivals 2026 and it has proven that the KNIFE is still risen in merciless fury. An energetic manifesto of pure speed metal. Follow us Into Your Nightmare.”
Watch the Official Music Video For “Nightmare” NOW!
Speed metallers KNIFE share their next swath of destruction into the scene – the German band’s furious third album, Into Your Nightmare, releases December 18, 2026 via Napalm Records. Just in time for the holiday season, the four-piece celebrates the unholy trinity of speed metal, black metal, and scabious punk. Into Your Nightmare is heavier, wilder, and definitely more grim than previous releases, resuming KNIFE‘s path authentically.
 
Into Your Nightmare is sinister, raw, and impressively precise in its frenzy. Watch out – as this nightmare won’t let you go!
 
KNIFE about Into Your Nightmare:
“The KNIFE is back to give all you maniax what you need. The Chamber of Storms has opened its gates and out comes the most relentless and versatile piece of sonic steel. We are delivering the goods and you can be sure that we will continue to haunt your dreams forever. The grimness of steel is upon you! Follow us Into Your Nightmare.”
