Polish prog-metal innovators BlackLight have unveiled a breathtaking live video featuring two tracks—“Future Belongs To” and “Ghost”—delivered in a uniquely artistic setting. Set within the prestigious Ludomir Różycki General Ballet School in Bytom, the band performed as a ghostly ballerina glided across the stage, merging classical ballet with their sweeping, modern sound.

A Fusion of Ballet and Prog-Metal Expression

Captured during a graduation event attended by over 500 spectators, the performance created a surreal tension between ethereal movement and crushing metal instrumentation. As the ballerina drifted through the music, BlackLight’s emotive vocals and intricate instrumentation created an immersive visual and sonic experience.

Compositional Depth and Emotional Resonance

“Future Belongs To” further highlights the band’s evolving sound—a blend of Opeth’s atmospheric weight, Rush’s compositional ambition, Tool’s psychological edge, and Riverside’s refined emotionality. Frontman Maciej Majewski delivers vocals that soar and shatter, supported by cinematic keyboards and guitar interplay supported by Robert Kurzyński, Tomasz Szydło, and Stanisław Skowroński.

Artistic Identity and Inspirations

Founded in Poland and led by Majewski on vocals, guitar, and keys—with Kurzyński (guitar), Szydło (bass), and Skowroński (drums)—BlackLight draws influence from a wide palette including Dead Can Dance and progressive legends. They merge atmospheric textures and technical precision in a way that feels both cinematic and intimate.
