Where the album’s first single, ‘Point of Coalescence’, opened on dense, uncompromising ground, ‘Humanised Gods’ offers a different kind of weight. Mid-tempo and melodic, the track draws its lyrical material from the excess and spectacle of the Claudian dynasty in ancient Rome: emperors regarded as demi-gods, figures onto whom desires and projections were freely cast. From there, the song widens its frame to address something more immediate: the hubris of contemporary individualism, the cult of the self, the particular vacancy that follows when admiration tips into deification. It is, within the arc of the album, a moment of relative relief, the music direct and unguarded in a way that the record’s darker corners are not.
Musically, “Humanised Gods” sits at the more melodic end of the band’s range without loosening its grip. The track belongs to a sound the band have been refining across three albums: doom metal’s slow solemnity threaded through with cinematic scope, strong melodic songwriting and an ambient quality that gives the music room to settle.
Graveyards of Joy is the closing chapter of a trilogy that began with Ultracrepidarian (2021) and continued with A Greater Good (2023). Written in solitude following personal tragedy, the album draws on the landscapes and ghost towns of rural eastern Spain, a terrain the band describe as raw, honest and untamed. Nine tracks navigate grief, anger, loneliness and the search for something beyond. The album was produced by Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernandez Milla, mixed by Javier Fernandez Milla at Trinitat Montseny, and mastered by Jaime López Arellano at Arda Recorders (Portugal). Artwork is Lluís Rigalt’s Ruïnes (1865), held at the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya.
Graveyards of Joy is out July 3rd via Season of Mist.
