Lexington’s own symphonic metal heavyweights The Human Tragedy have dropped their brand new single and video “The Murder of Light Around Me,” a haunting and cinematic chapter pulled straight from their latest full length Upon Waves, The Inferno . The album is already out there leveling listeners, and this new single only drives the stake deeper into the dark emotional landscape the band has been carving out.

A Descent Into Emotional Turmoil
“The Murder of Light Around Me” digs into the internal collapse that comes from pain left to rot in silence. The track balances orchestra, blast beats, and suffocating atmosphere, laying out a story that hits harder than most want to admit. True to form, The Human Tragedy don’t glamorize the darkness. They stare it down and force the world to do the same.

In the band’s words:
“This song is about the moments when hope feels like it’s fading out of reach. We want people to know they aren’t alone in that fight. Staying connected, checking in on each other, being present… it matters more than people think.”

A Cinematic Strike From Upon Waves, The Inferno
Visually, the “The Murder of Light Around Me” video mirrors the sweeping scale the band built across the album. The orchestral arrangements, the savage riff work, and the emotional weight all collide into a single, focused blow. If the album is a journey through fire, this track is one of the places where the flames burn brightest.
