Pre-Save Future Belongs To:
Formed in 2019 by Maciej Majewski, BlackLight quickly carved out a unique progressive metal sound. Their debut album, Follow the Future, recorded in Kraków’s Studio 13 and Studio Centrum, was well-received by fans and critics, leading to live performances on Antyradio’s Makakofonia and other major stations.
In 2021, the band recorded their second album, River of Time, released by Metal Rock Promotion in early 2022. A lineup change in late 2023 saw drummer Stanisław Skowroński join, with Majewski taking over vocals. With this refreshed lineup, BlackLight recorded Future Belongs To, a conceptual album set for release by Wormholedeath.
