🎧 Single Available Now

Now, the quartet is ready to showcase the next track, “Effectively Neutralized,” making its exclusive premiere on NoCleanSinging.

“This track establishes the tone for our new LP, Fiber Tormentum . It makes a bold statement by blending melodicism and memorable hooks with the relentless elements of technical death metal. This combination creates a unique mixture of ferocity and intensity that delivers an emotional experience, which can sometimes be lost in this genre’s inhuman technicality. We believe this sets us apart from other artists, and we hope our authenticity resonates with the listener,” explains Miller.

A Monumental Leap: From Solo Virtuoso to Full-Band Assault

“Fiber Tormentum” is an eight-track technical death metal opus that pushes boundaries with clean vocals, intricate guitars, and a theatrical, memorable sound. Conceptually, the album delves into a dystopian sci-fi narrative where extraterrestrial forces manipulate human DNA to subjugate humanity — a fusion of speculative fiction and real-world anxieties. The haunting cover art, crafted by the late Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath, adds a poignant visual depth to the project’s themes.

“We emphasize our commitment to excellence, experimentation, and emotional authenticity, blending modern production with a human touch. The album represents a milestone in our evolving musical journey, with even greater ambitions for future work,” says Miller.

THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE RELEASE "SUICIDE FOREST"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Sorrow Of Being Immaculate

Suicide Forest

Drone Alone

26 September 2025

In the depths of a bitter Welsh winter, in an abandoned barn surrounded by broken trees and sodden earth, Suicide Forest began to take shape. With no neighbors, no lights, and only the distant hum of unsettled winds, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE set up a modest array of gear and started to write at full volume. The setting was as much a part of the record as the riffs themselves, each track soaked in the desolation and cold detachment of the landscape. This was not a place for warmth or clarity. It was a place to surrender to the weight of memory, to the slow, repetitive cycles of regret, and to the idea that music might not heal, but might at least bear witness.

Suicide Forest, set to be released by Drone Alone on September 26th, 2025, is the first full-length album from THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE, an anonymous solo project steeped in instrumental doom, sludge, and drone. Where there might traditionally be lyrics, there is silence. Where there might be structure, there is repetition that borders on obsession. Each song loops like a thought you cannot escape. Each moment lingers just a little too long.

The album opens with "Suicide Forest," a track named after Japan's Aokigahara forest, long associated with death and spiritual unrest. The song was the last to be written and ultimately gave the album its title. The idea behind it is not exploitation or shock value, but immersion. The project’s purpose has always been to dwell inside uncomfortable emotional spaces. Not to glorify despair, but to let it echo long enough that it starts to lose its shape.

Other tracks extend this concept in different ways. "Sea of Trees," another name for Aokigahara, is built around a single crushing riff, slowly embellished with lead parts that rise and twist like the restless spirits often imagined in that forest. "30 Years of Nothing" is a steadily intensifying drone, a nod to watching others move forward while one remains stuck, and to the anger and confusion that can follow. It is not subtle. It is not meant to be.

"Oath of Decay" combines the grit of down-tuned sludge with ghostly vocal textures, a rare hint of the ethereal amid the album's otherwise punishing density. "Self-Immolation Plan" uses backwards guitars and distant samples to conjure something cold and disjointed, while "Misery" returns to a mantra-like riff that builds layer upon layer until the song is buried under itself.

At the center of the record is "Theendlesslowlevelbackgroundhumofanxiety," a nearly eight-minute reflection on the constant buzz of modern life. With interference and feedback layered over simple but insistent riffs, the track explores the idea that anxiety has become so normalized we no longer recognize it for what it is. It hums in the background like an appliance left on for too long.

"Winter Delusion" is a longform drone that captures the grey stasis of the season. It resists resolution. It just exists. "Funeral Home Drone" provides a moment of almost cartoonish morbidity, while still adhering to the album’s strict emotional palette. "The Eye of the Goat," short and taut, imagines the satanic figure of the goat not as a force of chaos, but as an observer of ruins, a passive witness to failure and futility.

The final track, "Suicide Forest (demo)," strips the album’s opening song to its core. Gone are the layered textures and eerie effects. What remains is skeletal and uncertain, a glimpse at the root before it was buried under distortion. It serves as both a beginning and an ending, a quiet reminder of where the album came from and how far it has travelled.

Suicide Forest was engineered and co-mixed by Mike Bannard at Safehouse Studios in Oxford. Everything else, from recording, to mastering, to cover art, was handled by THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE. 

There is no relief in this record. That is not its purpose. It is a document of personal reckoning, born in isolation and shaped by years of psychological sediment. Suicide Forest does not ask to be liked. It asks only to be entered. Whether or not you come out the other side is entirely up to you.

About THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE:

THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE is an anonymous solo project from Oxford, England, crafting bleak, instrumental sludge and drone since 2023. With no vocals, no public identity, and no live appearances, the music exists in complete isolation: just distortion, repetition, and emotional exhaustion.

Emerging from the Welsh countryside with the debut EP Church Music for Satanists in early 2024, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE quickly established a signature sound: hypnotic, heavy, and relentlessly minimal. The follow-up full-length, Suicide Forest, released by drone alone in 2025, pushed further into themes of anxiety, decay, and existential fatigue, blending guitar-driven doom with eerie drones and field-recorded interference.

Influenced by artists such as ELECTRIC WIZARD, SUNN O))), EARTH, and CARTER/TUTTI/VOID, the project explores psychological weight through slow repetition and spiritual dissonance. There are no lyrics because nothing more needs to be said. The riffs are the message.

For those drawn to the darker corners of sound, where catharsis is earned through endurance, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE offers a solitary descent.
