Mallorca, Spain’s renowned Doom Metal band Helevorn is now dropping their fifth studio album, “Espectres” which promises to deliver a gloomy, Gothic and Doomy Metal listening experience. Following significant line-up changes over the past three years, Helevorn has emerged stronger and more creative than ever. The band enlisted the talents of Sebastià Barceló (Trallery) for drum recordings, adding a new dynamic to their sound. This album represents a slight departure from Helevorn‘s previous work, with new guitarist Alex composing 60% of the material. Fans can expect the familiar Atmospheric and emotional depth Helevorn is known for, but with a rawer, more technical edge.
The band shares the details behind the album:
“This album is based on Hauntology, described first by Jaques Derrida and after by the philosopher Mark Fisher. He wrote “The Ghosts of My Life”, an amazing book where he describes the ‘slow cancellation of future’, and a lot of great concepts about the specters and the absences. How they make us what we really are. Is a fantastic concept to write a Doom Metal album isn’t it?”
Watch the official lyric video for the track “Signals” throughthe YouTube player below:
While still rooted in their self-coined “Mediterranean Doom” style, this album leans more heavily into pure doom and metal elements. The band promises a less epic, less Folk-influenced sound, focusing instead on the core essence of doom metal. Helevorn thinks it can be an intense experience for those who want to connect something very emotional and very philosophic with Dark and gloomy music.
Helevorn will be embarking on an extensive live tour, after the release of the album. Those with an interest in Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Draconian, will appreciate the art that they are creating.
