Lone Wanderer have announced their new and third overall full-length album, entitled »Exequiae«, set for release on January 30th, 2026 through High Roller Records.

With »Exequiae« (Latin for “funeral rites”), Lone Wanderer from Freiburg im Breisgau/Germany make a striking statement in the realm of funeral doom. The band’s High Roller debut continues the thematic line of its predecessor »The Faustian Winter« – from the end of Faustian culture to inner grief and existential despair. The five songs – including the nearly 25-minute centerpiece »To Rest Eternally« – combine majestic slowness, dense harmonies, and overwhelming heaviness.

»Exequiae« is a funeral mass in slow motion – majestic, despairing, uncompromising – and stands as the band’s most compelling statement to date, treating funeral doom as a true art form.

The artwork, in keeping with the quartet’s tradition, is by Romantic painter Ernst Ferdinand Oehme, whose »Procession In The Fog« captures the album’s grave stillness.
