UK doom metal juggernauts GODTHRYMM will unleash their stunning new third album, Projections, on May 29th via Profound Lore Records.
With Projections, the band completes their Visions Trilogy which began with 2020’s Reflections debut LP and followed with 2023’s acclaimed Distortions album. During the band’s discourse since the release of Reflections, GODTHRYMM has been recognized as the new emerging band from the UK to bring back the glorious aura of early-mid ‘90s UK doom metal, most notably formulated by the Paceville Three (My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, 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 doom metal drummer extraordinaire Shaun Taylor-Steels (formerly of My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Solstice), that classic UK doom metal DNA has already been implemented within the sonic fabric of GODTHRYMM.
Projections builds upon the cornerstones of Distortions. Now with an expanded lineup which includes keyboardist and co-vocalist Catherine Glencross, bassist Bob Crolla, and new second guitarist Kris McLaughin, Projections is GODTHRYMM’s most layered, varied, and complex release yet, all while still upholding the colossal emotionally charged heavy doom backbone that has defined the core of the band’s sound. Projections is also the band’s most aggressive album to date.
Glencross comments, “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 us 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.”
Projections includes guest vocals from original English Dogs vocalist Adie Bailey and Xentrix vocalist Jay Walsh on “Trenches Deep.” Additionally, now former My Dying Bride vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe appears on “Endure My Skin,” reuniting once again with his former My Dying Bride bandmates Glencross and Steels. This time the iconic vocalist takes center stage for the bulk of the track, whereas on Distortions, Stainthorpe provided more of a spoken word segment on the track “Follow Me”.
In advance of the release of Projections, today GODTHRYMM unveils “Truth In My Own” and an accompanying video.
Says Glencross, “We picked 'Truth In My Own' as the lead single as it is the most fist clenching and head banging song on the album! Projections brings much contrast and diversity as we’ve pushed the sonic extremities of our sound, and we hope you enjoy this first very direct heavy metal song complete with a suitably frenetic video directed by the masterful Ash Pears. Cheers!"
Projections was recorded at various stages throughout the last year at different studios with Andy Hawkins and Glencross at the helm. Cover art was done by Mitchell Nolte.
