Division:Dark announce their second album “The Eternal Baptism”, out 2 October 2026 on Metalville, led by the new single “Caught In The Loop”.
Division:Dark, an anonymous industrial metal collective from Germany, have announced their second studio album “The Eternal Baptism”, out on 2 October 2026 through Metalville. The record is the group’s first for the label and follows the 2022 debut “Prophecy”. It arrives with the single “Caught In The Loop”, which is streaming now.
Division:Dark’s ‘The Eternal Baptism’ album and ‘Caught In The Loop’ single
“The Eternal Baptism” is a twelve-track concept album set in Division:Dark’s dystopian mythology, in which a future society has suppressed human emotion and the “baptism” of the title marks a return to what the collective describes as “the lost human frequency.” The band combine modern industrial metal with electronic sound design, orchestral layers and cinematic arrangements. Metalville issues the album on digipak CD and limited crystal-clear vinyl, with preorders open.
The album opens with “Let Me Show My World” and closes with “Burn The Timeline”, placing the single “Caught In The Loop” as its ninth track. The running order is “Let Me Show My World”, “Face The Liar”, “Beautify Me”, “The Curse”, “Black Dominion”, “Break Down”, “Within This Fake”, “Afterlife”, “Caught In The Loop”, “Fields Of Midnight”, “Eve” and “Burn The Timeline”.
The musicians remain unnamed. Division:Dark presents itself as a collective of masked figures rather than a fixed line-up, keeping individual identities hidden across its releases and artwork.
About Division:Dark
Division:Dark is an anonymous industrial metal project from Germany that pairs heavy guitars, electronics and cinematic arrangements with an ongoing science-fiction narrative. The collective released its debut album “Prophecy” on 11 February 2022 through Drakkar Entertainment, a digipak CD on which each track was built around a different guest vocalist. Those guests came from the metal and dark scenes and included Blutengel‘s Chris Pohl, Megaherz singer Lex, Otto Dix, Vicky Psarakis, Anna Murphy of Eluveitie and Anneke van Giersbergen. ricoH and Tobias Gut produced the record.
With “The Eternal Baptism”, Division:Dark move from Drakkar Entertainment to Metalville and shift from the guest-driven format of the debut to a self-contained concept album, set for release on 2 October 2026.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
