- Posted on 31-10-2025
Germany-based band Onyx Eyes, a female-fronted symphonic progressive metal ensemble with members from Germany, Serbia, and Iran, invites you to check out their latest single „KINGS’ CHILDREN“. Scheduled for official release on 31st October 2025, the track combines symphonic depth, acoustic guitars, 70s-inspired Hammond sounds, electronic textures, and progressive arrangements with multiple timings and rhythm changes, creating a rich and dynamic listening experience.
Song Background / Inspiration: „KINGS’ CHILDREN“ tells a tragic and emotional tale: two royal children who deeply love each other but are never able to meet. One tries desperately to sustain the connection, arranging a meeting in the center of a lake, but the other hesitates. The resulting loss mirrors modern struggles with love, fear of intimacy, and unfulfilled desire. The lyrics reflect this emotional tension, with imagery of water, ice, and magic as metaphors for longing, hesitation, and heartbreak.
When it comes to lyrics: “See through me, I’m the water / Changing form just for you / How does it feel? Ice or steam? / Or does the fear make you not dare… to step in?” – such lines emphasize the vulnerability, longing, and ultimate tragedy at the heart of the song, capturing Onyx Eyes’ unique approach to storytelling in metal.
The single showcases expressive female vocals, rich orchestrations, electronic textures, and acoustic passages, merging symphonic, progressive, and melodic metal. Onyx Eyes’ combination of Seventies Hammond, progressive elements, and electronic experimentation gives „KINGS’ CHILDREN“ a distinctive, epic, and emotional soundscape.
