IMMUNITY Releases Emotionally Charged New Album “Dark Side of the Earth”

Nuremberg-based metalcore outfit IMMUNITY returns with their highly anticipated second full-length album, “Dark Side of the Earth,” a powerful and deeply personal work shaped by profound tragedy and emotional truth. The album is now available across all major streaming platforms.

At the heart of Dark Side of the Earth lies the heartbreaking journey of lead vocalist and lyricist Dominik "Nik" Maiser, who lost his wife to cancer during the album's production. This life-altering event became the emotional and thematic cornerstone of the record, which explores grief, psychological trauma, and the long road toward healing.

The single “Unhinged” offers an unfiltered portrayal of the chaos and devastation Nik faced, laying bare the emotional disintegration following his loss. In the wake of recording, Nik took the courageous step of entering a psychiatric clinic—an experience that shaped not just the music, but the message of the album: a call for mental health awareness and the importance of seeking support.

Staying rooted in the sonic foundation of their acclaimed debut Breathe, IMMUNITY once again teamed up with producer Christoph Wieczorek (Sawdust Recordings, Halle) to capture their distinctive blend of crushing guitar riffs, soaring choruses, and emotionally layered songwriting. With rich arrangements and a polished yet raw production, Dark Side of the Earth strikes a delicate balance between brutality and vulnerability.

“Dark Side of the Earth” is not just an album—it’s a cathartic journey. One that confronts pain, speaks openly about mental health, and finds light through the darkest of times.
