Life harbors its shadowy sides. Often unnoticed by society, which maintains its facade, there are people trapped in a nightmare of self-doubt, depression, and hopelessness. Escaping this situation seems dauntingly difficult. The battle these individuals face often remains hidden from those around them. 'Captured By Emptiness', the upcoming single from the Austrian Thrash Metal / Groove metal band Uzziel, tells of such a struggle. It is set to be released on February 9th through NRT-Records in an audiovisual format, marking a significant reset for Uzziel.

Austrian metal band Uzziel is set to release their new single 'Captured By Emptiness' on February 9th, marking a significant reset for the group. The single, to be released through NRT-Records in audiovisual form, delves into the often-hidden struggles of individuals battling self-doubt, depression, and hopelessness, a theme resonating deeply with the challenges many face in society.

Formed in 2010 in Michelsdorf near Kufstein, Uzziel quickly established themselves in the metal scene. Their journey, starting tentatively and gaining momentum, led to a series of demo albums and notable festival performances, including the prestigious Kaltenbach Open-Air and Austrian Hellfest.

Their first demo 'Broken', released in 2011, showcased their musical strength and versatility. Uzziel, meaning 'God is my strength' in Hebrew and linked to the biblical figure Uzziel, Moses' uncle, reflects the band's intense musical energy. Their 2015 demo album 'Torn Apart' secured their place in the German-speaking metal scene with a unique blend of dark Thrash Metal, Groove Metal, and Nu-Metal elements.

In 2019, Uzziel released 'This Fear' in collaboration with SAOL, receiving positive reception for songs and concerts, including performances with Debauchery and Eisregen. Their diverse metal mix caught the attention of German independent label NRT-Records, leading to a long-term record deal in 2022. Despite the departure of Jürgen Hartwagner, the band continued to perform, including a notable appearance at the 10th Anniversary of the Metal Outbreak series.

2024 marks a new era for Uzziel with the re-release of 'Captured By Emptiness' and a remastered version of the original 2015 video, overseen by NRT-Records founder Philipp Gottfried. This release promises to showcase Uzziel's evolved sound, blending Thrash Metal, Dark Metal, Groove Metal, and Nu-Metal.
