REEKMIND RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "SLITHERING SPELL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Australian death-doom metallers REEKMIND have released the second single from their upcoming debut album, "Mired in the Reek of Grief", set to unleash its haunting presence on MC and LP format via Night Terrors Records on March 7th, 2025.

The new song is called "Slithering Spell" and it's now premiering via Mystification Zine at THIS LOCATION.

With their peculiar blend of crushing riffs and emotionally charged atmospheres, REEKMIND takes listeners on a harrowing journey through the depths of human despair. As the band describes, "The Reekmind is a manifestation of insurmountable grief that is represented in a physical form which slowly overtakes one's mind and causes all affected to spiral into an inescapable well of misery and mental agony." This ethos is deeply embedded in their music, delivering an experience that is both devastatingly heavy and cathartically profound.

REEKMIND's debut album bridges the gap between classic death-doom foundations and atmospheric, almost transcendental elements that flirt with the introspective tones of post-metal and the visceral weight of sludge. The result is a soundscape that is both raw and expansive, embodying the essence of pure sonic catharsis.

The album's organic production enhances its live-like authenticity, enveloping listeners in a sound that feels immediate, honest, and deeply personal. REEKMIND eschews flashy gimmicks, focusing instead on the power of the riff and constructing cohesive, expansive structures that resonate long after the final note fades.
