atmospheric metal

From Dead can dance-like tribal atmospheres to futuristic sci-fi soundscapes, from lush and cinematic passages to a harsh distortion and massive futuristic soundscapes, the founding member and guitarist of Swedish metal masters Dark Tranquillity, Niklas Sundin, has not feared any musical borders with his first public foray into his solo-project, Mitochondrial Sun.

Progressive metal quartet Chiasmata have released the video for their latest single “Foreboding”, the third taste of their forthcoming release. 

The video for “Foreboding” explores the song title in a fitting manner. The figures represented by the band appear misrepresented against the beautiful landscapes that provide the setting for this piece. Unable to shake the feeling that something is wrong, it becomes abundantly clear that this release deals with a struggle of powerlessness. 

In the closing moments of 2019, French instrumental quartet Stömb released “Ephemeral” - the first taste of their forthcoming album “From Nihil”. With the album now available to preorder via Bandcamp, the band descend once more into a tense, atmospheric conceptual universe with the unveiling of the brand new video single, “Dimension Zero”.

Instrumental post-metal sludge quartet Telepathy have announced their anticipated third full-length record, “Burn Embrace”, out on March 27th, 2020, via Svart Records.
