Danish death doom band Konvent shares the second single from their upcoming third album, »Firesky«, out November 6, 2026 via Napalm Records. The title track, »Firesky«, shows the four women’s versatility by highlighting both their ability to open up pitch-black abysses as well as weave in clean passages that shine through the cloudy heaviness like the fire in its name. Following a tour with shooting stars Zeal & Ardor as well as shows at Wacken and Copenhell, »Firesky« is Konvent’s bravest album yet.
Fiercely sinister and heavy as ever, Danish heavy hitters Konvent return with their third album, »Firesky«. Embellishing their compositions, five songs is all it takes the four-piece this time around to prove how incomparably weighty their sonic soundscapes can be. »Firesky«’s tracks are significantly longer than what Konvent have offered before, but the dynamics within the dark arrangements prove the extraordinary commitment to their craft. Previously leaving their mark on the death doom scene, the band now expands on their influences and experiments significantly with black metal. They say the third album makes it or breaks it – Konvent, however, manage to fully reconstruct the principle itself.

Konvent about »Firesky«:
“After four years, we are finally ready to release our third album, »Firesky«, as our most ambitious album yet. On this album we have experimented more with black metal, as it is a genre we are all very inspired by. Lyrically it has been impossible for us to ignore the political state of the world, and we have found it imperative to comment on the active decisions to withdraw basic human rights for women and LGBTQ people. »Firesky« is a screaming desire to burn everything down and to create a more solidary and empathic world.”
»Exorcise« kicks the album off as a mission statement. Slow and brutal, it opens up the gates to doom metal’s very core – only to explode in its last third, proving early on that Konvent have their new path well thought out. Carefully built-up tension releases through Rikke Emilie List’s sublime screams, contrasting previous gutturals. Following, »Scorning« constructs an equally suspenseful atmosphere. Gentle drums and guitars pave the way for deep vocals, both becoming more diverse as time passes. In a fast-paced world, Konvent offer an escape by letting their melodies breathe. Though slow and with its tracks all set around the 10-minute mark, »Firesky« feels interesting as the four women use their skills to build poignant musical themes. Where delicate guitars almost make the second song feel light, »Into The Unknown« steers the quartet back into shadowy realms. Sitting at roughly 12 minutes, the album’s longest song is a masterclass in diverse, progressive songwriting within the extreme metal field. The title track, »Firesky«, stands out through clean passages shining through the cloudy heaviness like the fire in its name. Seamlessly blending into the previous track, »Postludium« closes the album as an instrumental outro.
