UK Doom Metal heavyweights Godthrymm continue to unveil the depth and scope of their forthcoming third full-length album “Projections,” set for release on May 29, 2026 via Profound Lore Records, with the second single “The Sun Never Fell.” Following the debut of “Truth In My Own,” the new track offers a powerful glimpse into the band’s more expansive and Atmospheric side, blending crushing weight with soaring melodic textures.
As guitarist and vocalist Hamish Glencross states: “We present ‘The Sun Never Fell’ as our second single from ‘Projections’, as it showcases the more grandiose epic sound of the band full of vocal harmonies, layer upon layer of instrumentation and massive riffs. The song strives to shine light through crushing darkness, with hope leading out of despair“.

With “Projections,” Godthrymm bring to a close a journey that began with their 2020 debut “Reflections” and continued with 2023’s critically acclaimed “Distortions.” In the years since “Reflections,” the band have steadily built a reputation as one of the most notable emerging acts from the UK’s doom scene, often recognized for channeling the spirit of early-to-mid ‘90s British Doom Metal — a sound closely associated with genre pioneers such as My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Anathema.
Considering Godthrymm was formed and is helmed by UK Doom Metal veteran Hamish Glencross (formerly of My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, and Solstice) and features drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels (formerly of My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Solstice), that classic UK Doom Metal DNA is already deeply embedded in the band’s sonic fabric.
This is clearly reflected on “Projections,” which is far from a nostalgic exercise, instead expanding further on the foundations laid by “Distortions.” With its expanded lineup, the album sees Godthrymm pushing their sound into new levels of depth, complexity, and dynamic range, while still retaining the colossal, emotionally charged heaviness that has defined the band’s identity since its inception. The result is a work that expands their sound further in both scope and cohesion – arguably their most layered, varied, complex, and aggressive release to date.
