DÖ, the Finnish trio that channels the dark forces of the cosmos into fierce riffs, will release an album titled »Unversum« on September 18th.

This dark blend of stoner, doom, and psychedelia, featuring eight tracks, will be available on vinyl through the Dutch label Lay Bare Recordings, as well as on CD and digital platforms.

In line with the space theme, the journey to the finished album has been a long one. Songwriting began immediately after guitarist Teröid joined the band in 2019, but due to the pandemic and other setbacks, the production process ultimately stretched to nearly five years. During that time, the band managed to release a preview of the album’s offerings with the »Black Hole Mass« EP in 2020.

The wait, however, has been worth it. More effort has been put into pre-production and recording than ever before, resulting in both the sound and the songs reaching entirely new heights in DÖ’s canon. Once again, the lyrics draw from the ideology of astral worship, celebrating cosmic forces and the insignificance of humankind.

The trio describes the album briefly as follows: “»Unversum« is a collection of very different songs that are hard to fit into one genre box. Some are nuanced and even surprising, while others are simply crushing heavy hitters. Influences and sources of inspiration range from the roots of psychedelic music to the ‘everything starts with a riff’ stoner doom aesthetic and pure cosmic escapism to fill the void.”

Line-up:
J’Andrömeda – Vocals & Bass
Teröid – Guitar
Kristös – Drums
