Ukrainian modern metal band IGNEA has released the single ‘Darkness’ and an accompanying music video as part of the promotion for their upcoming album, Monumental, scheduled for release on October 23, 2026.

The music video was filmed in Kyiv, utilizing the city’s modernist architecture to explore themes of nostalgia, grief, and lost futures. The band noted that the filming took place during a period of significant missile and drone attacks on the capital, which adds a layer of real-time loss to the song’s emotional themes.
