German black metal band Mystic Circle have released their chilling new single and official video for Boogeyman, out now via ROAR. Available to stream at mysticcircle.rpm.link/boogeyman, the track, set for release on July 2, 2025, delves into the sinister legend of the boogeyman.
Beelzebub comments, “We are fascinated by this story about the boogeyman. Evil lurks hidden and watches you until it strikes unexpectedly and pulls you into the darkness. What could be more natural than to summon the boogeyman and unleash him into the world of Mystic Circle?”
Filmed and edited by Christine Lincke and Till Beck, with a script by Sven Meesters, the video features actors Ralf Kohler as the Boogeyman and Niddhoeggr Keitelson as Burning Blade, shot at The Devil’s Table (Teufelstisch / Pfalz) and The Devil’s Playground (Hockenheim). The song, with lyrics exploring the boogeyman’s relentless pursuit and soul-devouring nature, features Beelzebub (vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards) and A. Blackwar (drums, guitars, keyboards). Key lines include “I am in your dreams / My hiding place is the darkness / I’ll chase you, kill you / and I will devour your soul!”
This release marks a return to form for the band, reuniting Beelzebub and A. Blackwar after a 22-year hiatus, following their split in 1999.
