THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HUBRIS IGNITES THE DARK WITH NEW SINGLE “LIGHTLESS LANTERN” — FIRST REVEAL FROM UPCOMING ALBUM ACTS OF SEDITION

Buffalo, NY — October 3, 2025 — American black metal war machines Hubris return with their latest assault, “Lightless Lantern” , now available via Bandcamp. The track marks the first unveiled chapter from the band’s forthcoming full-length album, Acts of Sedition , and serves as a harbinger of the storm to come.

First forged in Buffalo’s underground in 2008 by brothers Hellskald and Lichfiend with Melkorpse , and fortified by drummer Deragore in 2010, Hubris have carved their place in the U.S. extreme metal scene through sheer firepower. With appearances at Shadow Woods Metal Fest IV , Hell Over Akron , and Slutfest , the band’s high-octane blend of blackened savagery and death metal ferocity has become a crushing hallmark.

“Lightless Lantern” stands as track two on Acts of Sedition — a record years in the making. Tracking began in late 2022 across multiple states, with nearly an hour of punishing music captured and finalized with a devastating master earlier this year. If their last EP, Regency of Hungering Swords , was the war cry, this new single is the battle horn that announces their Opus Magnum . Darker, sharper, and refined, it sharpens the steel first drawn on Regency and elevates it to pure blackened devastation.

The single’s artwork, designed by Daniel Oakes , mirrors the song’s role: a fragment, a glimpse, a torch revealing only part of the grand vision. The full album artwork comes courtesy of Santiago Jamarillo of Triple Seis Design, promising a visual counterpart to the sonic onslaught. Fans who caught Hubris live on their East Coast dates earlier this year may recognize the song’s crushing force — the rest of the world now gets its chance to bear witness.

The full-length Acts of Sedition will follow — a nearly hour-long maelstrom of uncompromising black metal chaos. Until then, the lantern burns.
