Dark Divine surprise drop new single ‘Midnight Masquerade’ and announce new album ‘Undead Melody’

Orlando metalcore band Dark Divine have dropped their surprise new single ‘Midnight Masquerade’. The release will appear on the band’s forthcoming new album “Undead Melody”, out on 29th May 2026 via Thriller Records.

‘Midnight Masquerade’ centres on the idea of anonymity as both freedom and trap. People can easily slip into versions of themselves built to impress, survive, or belong, especially in spaces where identity can be hidden and accountability fades. Driven by a heavier sound throughout and anchored by a melodic chorus, the track reflects on the cost of that escape and how losing yourself in the mask can make it harder to recognise what was left behind.

Vocalist Anthony Martinez shares the idea behind the song:
“’Midnight Masquerade’ came about in a very interesting way. While on tour, I was listening to a podcast about elite, secret society parties and their cult-like activities. The idea of desperation to be somebody resulting in one casting aside their humanity and morality was such a disturbing concept to me that it stuck in my head until it came time to hit the studio.

“On that drive I had also drawn many parallels between concepts of these secret society parties with the lyrics of my favourite song of all time, ‘Hotel California’. Many people believe that song to be about drugs, but I now believe that song could have been written in a much more literal sense. ‘Midnight Masquerade’ is essentially my homage to ‘Hotel California’ through the lens of secret, elite, ‘Eyes Wide Shut’-esque gatherings.”
