German Speed Metal band Knife have announced their third album, Into Your Nightmare, releasing December 18, 2026 via Napalm Records. The album combines Speed Metal, Black Metal, and Punk influences. Into Your Nightmare has been described as “heavier, wilder, and definitely more grim” than their previous releases. The single and video for “Shadows” is out now, which is actually the closing track from their upcoming album.

Knife says about “Shadows”:

KNIFE are back with a vengeance. Once again, a raging tornado of pure Speed Metal is ascending from Hell. The first single, ‘Shadows’, is fast as a shark, ready to break your neck. Join the pack of Black Leather Hounds and celebrate the first onslaught of our new album, Into Your Nightmare.

Knife says 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.
