From the Shadows of Athens: Honeybadger Ignites the Darkness with "Let There Be Light"

Athenian stoner rock force Honeybadger returns with a surge of raw energy and emotion on their new single “Let There Be Light”, the title track from their latest album. A heavy, slow-burning journey through distortion, soul, and revelation, the track captures the band’s signature blend of sludge, alternative, and Greek desert rock grit.

Built on towering riffs, pounding basslines, and hypnotic grooves, Let There Be Light moves between despair and defiance, a sonic tug-of-war between darkness and illumination. The song’s haunting refrain, “We’re grasping on the walls to make it right, we’re gonna make it so, let there be light”, embodies Honeybadger’s message: that even in chaos and fatigue, there’s a spark worth fighting for.

Produced by Alex Bolpasis (Suono Studio, Athens) and mastered by Nick Townsend (Infrasonic Mastering, L.A.), the track delivers a rich, analog warmth and relentless punch that mirrors the intensity of Honeybadger’s live presence.

From the dust and noise of Greece’s underground rock scene, Honeybadger continues to carve their identity, merging heaviness with heart, psychedelia with purpose. Let There Be Light isn’t just a song, it’s a call to awaken, to resist, and to rediscover what burns inside.
