UMUS - funeral doom
Last updated: 17 August 2026
the debut album - "Voidlit" - from funeral doom entity UMUS is due for release on October 13th - on digi CD and gatefodl 2LP
UMUS evolved to create a glacial, monolithic funeral doom - using slowness as a means of immersion. Each composition unfolds patiently, allowing textures to accumulate and emotions to deepen.
"Voidlit" traces a descent through grief, isolation and spiritual decay toward the gradual disintegration of the self. Personal loss and social alienation give way to an increasingly inward journey, ultimately confronting the emptiness left behind when everything else has fallen away.
Check out "Oblivion" from the album, here:
Epitaphe - III
Last updated: 30 July 2026
French progressive death metal visionaries EPITAPHE are set to release their highly anticipated third full-length album, "III", on September 11 through Aesthetic Death (CD + LP) and Gurgling Gore (MC).
"III" refines, expands and elevates every defining element of its predecessors into a collection of compositions that is both more immersive and more emotionally compelling.
The album pushes the band's death metal foundation to new extremes, embracing an even harsher, darker and more unforgiving sound without sacrificing the sophistication that has become synonymous with EPITAPHE. Counterbalancing its crushing weight are exquisitely crafted acoustic passages and richly atmospheric interludes that paint vivid sonic landscapes.
Rather than relying on a predictable contrast between moments of aggression and restraint, "III" unfolds with an organic, narrative flow, allowing each composition to evolve naturally and reveal new layers over repeated listens. Every transition serves a purpose, every melody contributes to the wider emotional arc, and every arrangement reflects a meticulous attention to detail. The result is an album of exceptional scope and cohesion, confirming EPITAPHE as one of the most artistically significant acts in today's extreme metal landscape.
"III" was recorded by James Leonard at Mémoire Mécanique Studio and Pentachrome Wave Studio, before being mixed by James Leonard and mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios. The album artwork features "Spring Frost", a striking painting by acclaimed Finnish artist Petri Ala-Maunus, perfectly complementing the record's immersive atmosphere and profound sense of scale.

I'm pleased to announce that 2023's "Chthonic" is finally available on vinyl.
Over their 13 year existence - encompassing four albums - MESMUR have become widely respected within the funeral doom/death scene.
Originally released on digi CD in 2023 - along with Solitude Prod - and long since sold out. "Chthonic" strikes a balance between melody and dissonance, amidst it's haunted imagery. Crushing doom riffs are overlain with ethereal synths and cavernous vocals. Building a dark and vivid atmosphere.
"Chthonic" is available now - in standard LP sleeve - on smoky gold vinyl - with printed inner sheet.
Limited to 100 copies.....available on the releases page here.
Support underground bands directly where possible - available here (shipping from the USA):

Destruction Of Orion and Aesthetic Death
Last updated: 8 May 2026
Aesthetic Death is very pleased to announce an ongoing collaboration with funeral doom act - Destruction Of Orion.
Born from an undeniable calling to channel emotion, through the expression of atmospheric crushing doom.
Destruction of Orion create a deep and intense funeral doom that conjures memories from the zenith of the Finnish scene (Colosseum, Tyranny etc…)
Yet manage to transcend the past, bringing unique patterns of beauty, chaos and visceral emotion through each track.
Destruction Of Orion have created albums whose inner turmoil resonates deeply. Few doom bands can create sorrow that is so inescapably authentic. A lived experience of pain and anguish.
Recording of the third album is underway, with a release tentatively planned for the autumn.
Mournful, harrowing, bleak and beautiful. This is funeral doom of undeniable genius.
