GODTHRYMM veröffentlichen neues Album "Projections"
UK doom metal heavyweights GODTHRYMM release their highly anticipated new album "Projections" today via Profound Lore Records.
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.

As Hamish Glencross explains: "On this new album we present to you songs that channel our passion, our sorrow, our love, our fury - the very essence that makes us who we are, and we hope you find some kindred reflection in yourselves on this journey. Our first album 'Reflections' was a rekindling of our passion and fire for the music we love, the second album 'Distortions' took that template and evolved it ever further with grandeur and vision. 'Projections' takes everything that has brought to this point, and delves into our very musical souls with the appropriate introspection, diversity and contrasts of our emotions that define us. This is who we are, and we project all of this through our new album."
He continues: "The vision and writing for 'Projections' commenced as the recording of the previous album 'Distortions' was in its completion. The direction was to push ourselves further in musical scope and complexity, and was then driven further by artistic ambition in a new lineup showcased on 'The Light' EP, but also then influenced by life’s challenges and subsequent personal tragedy within the band. The songs are a reflection of love, sorrow and fury which we all feel."
