Behind The Tracks: Runesaber - Last Bite (Single) (2025)

Enter the web of Greta, the eight-legged seamstress that lures you to your imminent death. At first, falling for Greta was intoxicating, her love like an unbreakable spell. But now you've learned that her enchantment was merely a trap, and you have no choice but to welcome your fate. As she sinks her teeth in for the final bite, Greta promises that you'll never have to leave her, and that your love is sealed for eternity.

"Last Bite" was released independently on February 13, 2025. Blending elements of thrash and NWOBHM with eerie, pop-style female vocals, Runesaber's debut single envelops you in a spine-chilling tale of desire and manipulation— a lullaby from predator to prey. While simple in structure, "Last Bite" is filled with intricate details, from spindly tenor lines and subtle moments of mode mixture to a compound triple-metered outro intended to disorient you before the last, lethal injection.

Lyrics

Do you have regrets?

Like climbing into my web?

I know what's best for you,

I told the others, too

There's no better place to be,

Than right here with me, you see?

You told me you're forever mine,

You can run, but you can't hide

There's no reason to deny,

A love whose flame will never die

Your heart's forever sealed with mine,
