Portuguese Psych-Doom metal occultists Lord of Confusion to premiere the official lyric video for the first single “Afflatus” taken from their upcoming album, “The Weight Of Life,” set for release on March 28, 2026 via Morbid and Miserable Records & Larvae Records.

“Afflatus” was the first song written after “Evil Mystery,” and it immediately set the tone for what was to come.
Lord of Confusion comment on the new album:
“The Weight of Life’s first ideas were thrown around somewhere in 2023, and we finished writing those songs in late 2024. A lot has changed inside the band and in everyone’s life, so this came out as a way to mark a new stage for everyone. The recordings took place in January of 2025 at Garage 16 Studio, and the last details were done later in March that year. A lot of work was put into the mixing stage, and the Master was done by Chris Fielding himself. This record shows a big step forward for us. The songs present more movement, more noise, and more influences without ever losing our signature sound. The band is super proud of it, and we cannot wait to show it to you.”
Behold! The Psychedelic Doom Metal nightmares of Lord of Confusion have been made manifest once again! Their second full-length album “The Weight Of Life” is cloaked by a heavy fog, but beckons listeners to enter with an unnatural call. For those with enough curiosity to follow the haunting sound, unearthly wonders await: eerie, shrieking keyboard melodies, bewitching, wailed vocals, deep booming guitar riffs, and the terrifying atmosphere of a mausoleum during an earthquake.
“The Weight Of Life” is being released as a collaboration between Morbid And Miserable Records and Larvae Records. Morbid and Miserable will be printing tapes, Larvae will be pressing CDs, and both are working together on a double LP.
There is much to fear. Embrace it all.
