The Danish Progressive Metal band Deadnate is gearing up for the release of their second album “MOSAIC” on March 27, 2026. So far three singles have been released from the record, which is an honest and uncompromising work built on lived experience and musical foresight. On the album, Deadnate develops their expression into something both more complex and more simple, while the themes revolve around personal introspection and reflections on our place in the world.
Today, Deadnate releases the album’s fourth and final single, the deeply personal “Guilt & Sorrow,” along with a video which, featuring clips from the album recording sessions, concerts, and backstage moments, shows a different and more personal side of the band than they normally present in their videos. The band says about the song, that “it is a melodic, but heavy track that is very special to us. It deals with the loss of a child and the feelings afterwards.”
“MOSAIC” will be released on vinyl and digital formats. The vinyl will be available in two versions — a “Tatooine” edition limited to 50 copies and a standard black edition limited to 75 copies — and both can be pre-ordered HERE.
Deadnate will play two Danish release concerts, at Radar in Aarhus on March 28 and at Stengade in Copenhagen on April 3 with both shows featuring Thus as special guests and Livedevil as support. In addition the band will play at the Ribe Metalfestival and more shows will be announced soon. Tickets for the two release shows are available HERE.

Deadnate, from Fredericia, Denmark, initially found their inspiration in Thrash Metal, after which their perspective broadened toward Progressive Metal, which became the foundation for the band’s continued journey. In 2018, the band released their debut EP “Concrete Flood” to strong national reception, followed by concerts with acts such as Baest, Møl, and Eyehategod, as well as performances at Royal Metal Fest and other festivals. Shortly afterward, the band began writing their debut album, which they recorded in 2020 with drummer Ole Frank as producer and Andreas Linnemann (Baest, among others) as engineer.
The debut album “The North Sea” was released in 2022, and with its flair for Progressive songwriting, pronounced virtuosity, and nuanced themes focusing on human relationships — both among ourselves and with nature — the band left a lasting impression on audiences and critics alike. The album gained international attention and received strong reviews. Since the release, the band has played numerous well-attended and acclaimed Danish shows and has continued to work hard and with focus on creating new music over the past few years.
Deadnate is now ready with their second album “MOSAIC,” produced once again by the band’s drummer Ole Frank and with artwork from American artist Andrew Durgin-Barnes. The extremes are amplified on the eight new songs, where the progressive and complex are at times taken even further, while the simple, direct, and catchy are given room where needed. Where Deadnate on the previous album looked outward — toward nature and specific problems in the world — “MOSAIC” turns its gaze inward, toward the city, the people in it, and the relationship that humans have with themselves and with “the other.”
