Lithuanian experimental metal band Erdve to release third full-length album »Epigrama« on May 29th via Season Of Mist!

Lithuanian experimental metal band Erdve announce the upcoming release of their third full-length album, »Epigrama«, a work that examines psychological erosion, regret and the irreversible consequences of choice. Emerging from Vilnius and active since 2016, the band established their foundation with »Vaitojimas« and intensified their sonic language on 2021’s »Savigaila«.

»Vaitojimas« & »Savigaila« are available now through Season Of Mist. Order HERE.

Following a period of reflection and recalibration, »Epigrama« represents a deliberate new chapter that refines Erdve’s approach to composition, atmosphere and conceptual cohesion.

»Epigrama« is structured around entropy as its philosophical backbone. Across eight tightly interwoven compositions, the album examines grief, guilt and stagnation as structural forces rather than fleeting emotions. Memory, regret and the weight of unresolved decisions accumulate throughout the record, shaping a landscape in which personal and moral foundations gradually erode. Within this framework, understanding does not necessarily bring resolution. Instead, clarity exposes the quiet inevitability of consequence.

Tracklist:
01. Epigrama
02. Nyra
03. Skepsis
04. Ydos
05. Trukmė
06. Svertas
07. Raukšlės
08. Skleistis

Since signing to Season Of Mist in 2017, Erdve have developed a reputation for unconventional performances and concept-driven experimentation, including concerts staged in Vilnius’ St. John’s Church and the historic Lukiškės Prison. Their work has received sustained attention across international metal media. Germany’s Metal Hammer previously characterized the band’s sound as “a crushing and unpredictable take on modern extreme metal,” while outlets such as Echoes and Dust and Ave Noctum have noted the group’s ability to merge oppressive atmosphere with uncompromising heaviness.

With »Epigrama«, Erdve refine this identity into their most conceptually focused and structurally deliberate work to date.

»Epigrama« will be out May 29th, 2026 via Season Of Mist.
