Inertial Music is proud to announce the signing of German post-metal collective V/Haze Miasma, who will release its highly anticipated sophomore album »Praise Me! Erase Me!« on November 7th, 2025. The first single will be unveiled in October, followed by a second single leading up to the full release.
Formed as a studio project and led by guitarist and composer Johannes Lenk (Hjort), V/Haze Miasma quickly gained recognition with the debut album »agenda:endure« (2020, re-released via Supreme Chaos Records in 2023), which was highlighted as “Tip of the Month” in Germany’s Rock Hard and ranked #3 in the Metal Hammer Soundcheck in January 2024. The band further expanded its sonic identity with the 2022 EP »Nebula«, before entering Grotesque Studios in Bad Wörishofen to forge their most ambitious work to date.
The new full-length »Praise Me! Erase Me!« presents a dynamic interplay of thrilling melodies, complex atmospheric arrangements, post-blackened aggression, and melodic doom sensibilities. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Ghost Brigade, Swallow The Sun, Enslaved, Sólstafir, Ihsahn, Cult Of Luna, and Neurosis, the album captures both fragility and fury, balancing serene calm with emotional eruption.
Lyrically, V/Haze Miasma continues to reflect on the beauty, power, and vulnerability of nature while addressing humanity’s hypocrisy in destroying it with eyes wide open. »Praise Me! Erase Me!« also delves into personal struggles, social inequality, and the pervasive material and mental exploitation that defines modern existence.
The evocative album artwork was created by Swedish artist Niklas Sundin (ex-Dark Tranquillity, Mitochondrial Sun).
With the new album, V/Haze Miasma takes another bold step in its sonic evolution – an intense and natural soundscape that embodies both despair and hope, beauty, and devastation.
»Praise Me! Erase Me!« will be released worldwide on November 7th, 2025 via Inertial Music.
Produced, recorded and mastered at Grotesque Studios, Bad Wörishofen (Germany).
Piano on »Eden« and »Cannula« by Christian Reichinger.
