From the haunted catacombs of Uppsala, Sweden, emerges Alkemia, a solemn procession of pure doom/death majesty. Not a side-project, not a fleeting experiment, »Depulsus« is the fully realized debut album of a band carved from obsidian intent.

Formed in 2023, Alkemia features members of long-running death metal cult Sarcasm Heval Bozarslan (vocals), Peter Laitinen (guitars), Philip Borg (bass), and ex-Sarcasm drummer Alvaro Svanerö, now turning their gaze toward the cavernous depths of doom metal, exploring shadow, sorrow, and suffocating weight with purpose and poise.

»Depulsus« is a monolithic first statement: eight hymns of despair forged in atmospheric darkness and melodic gloom. The band channels influences from across the decades, the bleak majesty of My Dying Bride, the crushing atmosphere of early Paradise Lost, the spectral weight of Celtic Frost, and the unholy spirit of Black Sabbath, yet shapes it into something uniquely their own: brooding, hypnotic, and timeless.

Recorded and mixed at HSH Studios in 2024, »Depulsus« is the beginning of a new shadow taking form. Produced and mixed by Alkemia. Artwork and layout by Emerging Death.

Recommended for devotees of My Dying Bride, (early) Paradise Lost, Celtic Frost, Black Sabbath, Saturnus, Runemagick.

Debut album »Depulsus« out June 20th, 2025 on CD, Cassette and Digital via Chaos Records. Pre-order here:
