On the new single, BEHÖLDER comments:

“Haunted by disturbing visions and dreams, an aspiring adventurer looks to unravel the mysteries surrounding a series of gruesome, ritualistic murders that plague the city. Discovering an ancient pathway through a foreboding temple, his investigation leads through the catacombs where the truth behind his nightmarish dreams is unearthed but, he is powerless to stop what is coming, or his own demise.”
