The international gothic rock/darkwave collective Hellkern Warriors returns with a brand new single, “Rain, Steam & Speed”, a track that fuses gothic and alternative rock with driving guitars, brooding atmospheres, and a distinctly cinematic pulse.
“Rain, Steam & Speed” plunges the listener straight into an urban nightscape where neon lights flicker through the downpour and steel rails hum with unstoppable momentum. The song surges forward on muscular riffs and pounding rhythms, its energy crashing down like steam erupting from rust‑covered machinery. It is a high‑velocity ride through shadows, desire, and raw nocturnal intensity — a journey from ghost‑ridden streets to blazing neon corridors, carried by a tempo that refuses to slow.
Alongside the new single, Hellkern Warriors also appear on the newly released compilation The Pulse In The Void Vol. 1, contributing the track “Hellkern Warriors”. Curated as an international showcase of gothic and alternative rock, the compilation gathers artists from Europe, the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, and New Zealand, presenting a diverse spectrum of atmospheric, emotionally charged material.
Featured acts include Scheitan, Reptyle, Blood Dance, Gary Robert And Community, Cathedral In Flames, Senex IV, La Scaltra, Dark Side Cowboys, Robots In Love, Spiryt, Whispers In The Shadows, and others. The release is available as a name‑your‑price digital download on Bandcamp.
With a new single roaring down the tracks and a strong presence on an international compilation, Hellkern Warriors continue carving their path through the global dark music landscape.
