Black Spikes Premiere “Revana” Music Video, Detail Concept Behind ‘Ydos’

Lithuanian blackened progressive metal band Black Spikes have released a new music video for “Revana”, which debuted online April 30.

The video was directed by Rokas Baškys, bringing a dark, historical narrative to life that aligns with the themes behind the track.

Speaking on the meaning of the song, the band framed “Revana” around the idea of revenge and its lingering consequences.

“REVANA – it’s the name that we’ve chosen for revenge. Revenge promises closure, but often delivers continuation. It keeps the story going instead of ending it. You don’t ‘get even’—you stay entangled.”

The video itself draws inspiration from real-world events, specifically the witch hunts that reached Lithuania in the 17th century.

“In the music video, we depict a story inspired by the witch hunts that also reached Lithuania in the 17th century. Women who stood out for their curiosity or who did not easily fit into society were often falsely accused for witchcraft and revenged by death sentence for causing misfortunes in their communities.”

The track will appear on the band’s upcoming Napalm Records debut ‘Ydos’, which is scheduled for release on August 28.

The album marks a major step forward for the group, embracing a full conceptual approach centered around human flaws and vices.

“‘Ydos’ is a conceptual album — a dark fairytale about human vices. The idea was there from the very beginning and guided the entire songwriting process. Each vice has its own name and story, and many songs will be brought to life through music videos where these vices take shape.”

“It was our first time creating a conceptual album, and we really enjoyed starting with an idea and expressing it through music.”

With ‘Ydos’, Black Spikes aim to blend narrative storytelling with their evolving sound, setting the stage for more visual and thematic releases in the months ahead.
