New Mexican Doom Cult’s new album Ziggurat lands via Majestic Mountain Records!

Forged in the frozen wastelands of Gävle and steeped in ancient Mesopotamian myth, Ziggurat is a monolithic slab of stoner doom and fuzz-worship, crawling with forgotten gods, doomed expeditions, and cosmic dread. Slow, ritualistic, and crushing, it feels less like a collection of songs and more like an unearthed relic dragged from beneath the sand. Following the cult acclaim of Necropolis and From the Crypt, this new chapter finds New Mexican Doom Cult at their most focused and imposing, towering riffs, cinematic atmospheres, and occult storytelling aligned into a single, suffocating ascent.

From the ruins of the Great Ziggurat of Uruk, or rather, from the frozen edges of Gävle, where Baltic winds carve deeper than memory and winters stretch into eternit, New Mexican Doom Cult return with Ziggurat, their new album set to be released on January 23rd via Majestic Mountain Records.

Forged in isolation and raised on the altar of down-tuned amplification, the quartet channel a sound that feels unearthed from ancient ruins: a towering fusion of stoner doom, fuzz-worship, and myth-soaked heaviness, steeped in tales of forgotten gods, doomed expeditions, and cosmic dread. Their music is a slow-moving avalanche: massive, ominous, and ritualistic.

New Mexican Doom Cult began their journey with the 2019 single “The Passage”, an eerie ode to a doomed Arctic voyage swallowed by seven months of darkness. This was the first glimpse into the band’s penchant for storytelling steeped in isolation, terror, and the supernatural. In 2021, the singles “Mark of Cain” and “The Abyss”, recorded with producer Jonas Strömberg at Slowbeat Studios, further defined the band’s aesthetic, biblical fury, primordial chaos, and a steadfast commitment to colossal riffs.

Their true emergence came with the 2023 full-length Necropolis (Ozium Records), a sprawling seven-track ritual of subterranean worship and psychedelic haze. The album earned critical praise for its raw atmosphere and monolithic power, cementing the band as one of Sweden’s darkest and most compelling doom exports.

That same year, From the Crypt (Olde Magick Records) unearthed the band’s earliest recordings, remastered into a five-song tombstone featuring tales of ice monsters, Sumerian demons, cannibal cults, and phantom ships, a proof that from the beginning, the Cult was destined for darkness.

Now aligned with Majestic Mountain Records, New Mexican Doom Cult unveil Ziggurat, their most focused and mythologically rich offering yet. Taking inspiration from the ancient temples of Mesopotamia, the new album feels like a storm gathering over desert ruins, ominous, meditative, and crushingly heavy.

A conceptual continuation of their earlier material, Ziggurat fuses the band’s signature fuzz-laden riffs with cinematic atmospheres and occult storytelling. The result is a record that bridges Sweden’s windswept emptiness with the burning sands of ancient myth.
