The band has been releasing small teaser clips for the better part of the last couple of months, unveiling glimpses of their upcoming new single, which will be released through a music video. Since its inception in the year 2011, Dymbur had always sported a modern progressive metal sound characterized by djent-laden riffs and polyrhythmic patterns, complimented by crushing breakdowns. Taking inspiration from modern metal icons like Monuments, After The Burial, and Meshuggah as well, the band has come up with one full-length album titled 'The Legend of Thraat' back in 2019 to some rave reviews throughout the globe.
