Symphonic black metal artist Daidalos has shared his latest single “Euphobia.” The track appears on his forthcoming full‑length, Dante, out February 20.
Founded in 2020 by multi‑instrumentalist and composer Tobias Püschner, Daidalos released The Expedition in 2022. As the name suggests, the follow-up, Dante, is a personal work about psychological hell.
“Dante burns like fire. It’s darker, more focused, and more dramatic. The orchestration is stronger, the guitars more present, and the emotional arc much clearer,” explains Püschner.
“Euphobia,” the fear of joy, is the first song he is releasing from the new album.
“This song is about a society that pushes despair and shadows while suffocating joy. It’s melancholic, but it releases something too,” says Püschner.
TThe album was produced by Nahuel Lozano (Mental Cruelty) who recorded guitars and handled mixing and mastering. The visual world of Dante is brought to life through original abstract oil paintings and dotwork by French artist Bérénice Tulliez (Noirs Dessins), expanding the album into a unified aesthetic universe.
“It should feel like a journey. A descent you experience, not just listen to,” adds Püschner about the flow of the album.
