New Video Juodvarnis
Lithuanian dark metal pioneers Juodvarnis have unleashed their second single, “Juodos Akys (Black Eyes)”, from their highly anticipated upcoming album. This intense and blistering track marks a sharp contrast to their previous release, “Svoris”, showcasing the band’s ability to traverse a wide spectrum of emotions and musical intensity.
With “Juodos Akys (Black Eyes)”, Juodvarnis dives deep into the human psyche, focusing on the primal and consuming emotion of anger. The band describes the song as both a reflection and a warning:“We have been exploring the raw emotion of anger that burns within us all. Sometimes it’s hidden, locked deep inside, and other times it explodes, touching everyone around. It’s a force that can destroy or, when mastered, become a powerful tool to push the boundaries of who we are. Juodos Akys is our exploration of this duality, and we hope it resonates with everyone who has felt anger’s fire.”
Musically, the track delivers a ferocious blend of dark, death, black, and progressive metal, with unrelenting rhythms, searing riffs, and an emotional weight that mirrors the turmoil within the lyrics. Compared to the first single “Svoris”, which leaned more on atmospheric and introspective elements, “Juodos Akys” is a visceral assault on the senses, embodying the chaos and intensity of anger in its rawest form.The music video, directed and edited by Rokas Baškys (“Lumetri House”), brings this chaos to life with haunting visuals that complement the song’s themes.

This song is a testament to the power of mastering it.””Juodos Akys (Black Eyes)” is now available on YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms.
