Behind The Tracks: Risen Crow - Black Widow (Single) (2026)

“Black Widow” is the latest explosive single from Risen Crow, the Roman power metal band forged in the fire of Requiem For A Damned Love (Rockshots Records, 2025), and it sounds like a fatal call from the abyss. This track pushes the band’s sound into even more seductive and lethal territory. Risen Crow have used metal as a mirror of obsession and destruction, and “Black Widow” carries forward this mission with hypnotic ferocity.

From the very first moment the guitar riffs erupt, the song drags the listener into an isolated place of damnation — where desire corrupts, beauty hides claws, and love becomes a deadly trap. The story revolves around a man drawn by a supernatural song toward her, an ambiguous figure who reveals herself as a predatory siren with empty red eyes and a Black Widow soul, ready to feed on her prey with a final blade strike.

At the heart of the track, “Black Widow” contrasts hypnotic seduction with inevitable violence:

A call that paralyzes the heart,

Red eyes that steal the soul,

A blade that seals the eternal fate.

Musically, the track blends symphonic power metal roots with gothic atmospheres in the style of Nightwish and Epica: aggressive guitar riffs, relentless rhythms, and dark orchestrations create a dramatic and hypnotic atmosphere, with powerful vocal lines driving the narrative toward a funereal outro, where the Widow’s bite echoes eternally.

In summary, “Black Widow” represents an escalation of Risen Crow’s artistic mission: confronting the boundary between love and annihilation not with whispers, but with soaring melodies, razor-sharp riffs, and ruthless sonic honesty. Listen here: https://youtu.be/T4mUn_3RRow.
