Polish blackened death metal band MIND AFFLICTION return after a decade-long break with their third studio album, “No Future, No Light”, set for release on August 21st, 2026 via Polish label Via Nocturna (pre-order).
Today, the band unveil a music video for the Polish-language track “Niebyt”, the second single from the upcoming album following “Awakening”.
The video was filmed at Rabsztyn Castle courtesy of MOK in Olkusz, and was directed, shot and edited by Maciej Dunin-Borkowski of Tentacles Studio.
Commenting on the song, the band state:
“Niebyt (Polish for “Non-Existence”) explores themes of self-despair and an endless cycle of philosophical introspection, gradually leading to the complete dissolution of one’s identity“.
Formed in Kraków in 2009, MIND AFFLICTION combine the ferocity and technical precision of death metal with the cold, ominous atmosphere of black metal, further expanding their sound through progressive structures and dense, multilayered arrangements.
Following “Pathetic Humanity” in 2013 and “Into the Void” in 2016, the band now return with their darkest and most forceful release to date. “No Future, No Light” delivers crushing riffs, blast-driven percussion and an unrelenting wall of sound, contrasted with melodic elements and slower, atmospheric passages. Lyrically, the album explores human collapse, inner decay and existential darkness, portraying a world consumed by chaos and gradual disintegration.
“No Future, No Light” was produced, mixed and mastered by Dominik Burzym at Studio 67 (Cemetery of Scream, Mord’A’Stigmata), with lyrics for “The Architect” written by Kamil Kamler, band photography by Monika Podolska, and cover artwork and layout created by Diana Sawicka (Nokturnal Mortum, Patriarkh).
