Referencing the 2009 film “Ninja Assassin”, the song’s title alludes to the “black sand” used by the protagonist as a signal for impending death. Symbolically, “Black Sand” heralds a new phase for SHVRIKEN leading up to the release of their debut album.

The band claims “Black Sand” to be one of the most unique tracks they’ve released thus far. “The groove is still there alongside our traditional aggressive metal riffs and gritty vocals,” the band describes. “But for this song, we asked Stephen to feature and sing the clean vocal parts.”
