Southern Germany’s St. Unholyness unveil their latest single, »Dampflok des Todes« (Steamtrain of Death), accompanied by a hybrid lyric/music video now available to stream. With this new track, the band dive deeper into their unique blend of styles, melding doom metal with bluesy touches and blackened, gritty riffwork.

The full album »Through High Holy Haze« will be released on December 25th, 2025.

The track, »Dampflok des Todes«, is a meditation on life itself – a journey through mortality, reflection, and the fires we face along the way. With crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and Christina Earlymorn’s soul-baring vocals, the song is both a sonic hammer and a poetic mirror.

“This is a hybrid music video and lyric video,” says Christina, guitarist and vocalist. “It’s about reflecting on life while letting the music hit you in the chest. Every frame, every note is part of the journey.”

Written between 2017 and 2025, the eight tracks fold slow, heavy riffing and psychedelic drift into sharper eruptions that nod to progressive and black metal. Christina Earlymorn recorded, produced, mixed and mastered the record at her own studio, keeping guitars and voice front and centre while letting the rhythm section drive the weight of the songs.

The album’s narratives move from religion as an instrument of control to social pressure, resilience and tribute. »Heaven’s Harem« opens with a psychedelic instrumental that references historical harem structures. The title track questions fear and authority, casting Lucifer as a light-bringer. »Dampflok des Todes« turns momentum into a theme of falling forward. »Black Tooth Brothers« salutes Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. »Alchemist Blues« stretches toward the ten-minute mark, threading ideas about Nikola Tesla and frequency from blues jam to blasting intensity. »Hate Response« is the most openly political cut, focused on anti-trans scapegoating. »Loud And Proud« works like a chant about standing tall before a final comedown, while »St. Unholyness« closes the set at the slowest tempo with the most HM-2 forward sound.

St. Unholyness are currently a two-piece on stage, with Earlymorn on guitars and vocals and Mac Carrigan on bass, and they are seeking a drummer to expand the live show.

Line-up:
Christina Earlymorn – Guitars, Vocals
Mac Carrigan – Bass
