Power metal band Adamantis has released “Sword In The Darkness,” a powerful new single inspired by the Night’s Watch from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series. The track offers fans an evocative blend of dark, melodic, and heroic themes that embody the epic essence of Martin’s legendary storytelling.
“This song is our heartfelt tribute to the work of George R.R. Martin,” says Adamantis. “The concept of the Night’s Watch as a shield against the White Walkers is a powerful symbol of the inner fortresses we all must build to face our own demons—and that endurance requires sacrifice. We wanted to capture this epic, melancholic vision by crafting a musical theme around the words of the Night’s Watch Oath. The vocal melody is both dark and heroic, and Jeff Stark truly shines here, proving himself as one of the best vocalists in the genre. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.”
Led by vocalist Jeff Stark, the band combines their signature US and European power metal sound with influences from both classic epic metal bands like Manowar and modern icons like Blind Guardian. With cinematic lyrics, soaring guitars, and Stark’s distinctive vocals, “Sword In The Darkness” captures the noble yet haunting spirit of the Night’s Watch. The single’s evocative melody and powerful instrumentation were designed to transport listeners into the icy, battle-worn realm of the Wall and the fight to protect humanity.
