The full album premiere of »The Sunset Of Being«, the harrowing debut full-length from Italian funeral death doom act Tetramorphe Impure, is now streaming exclusively at Invisible Oranges. Out April 18th, 2025 via Aesthetic Death, the record marks a monumental statement from the solo project of Damien (ex-Mortuary Drape), merging the oppressive gravity of funeral doom with the raw power of old school death metal.

Hailing from the Alpine north of Italy, Tetramorphe Impure is the creation of Damien, an experienced musician and former member of Mortuary Drape. After a series of underground releases, Tetramorphe Impure emerge from years of dormancy to bring forth its first full-length creation.

Melding the profound weight of funeral doom, old school death metal and early doom-death. Monolithic and crushing in it’s sonic core, »The Sunset Of Being« brings forth vast soundscapes draped in despondent, shuddering riffwork.

Both nostalgic and reflective in its essence, Tetramorphe Impure create a brooding, despondent atmosphere, evoking the spirit of the early 90’s through the lens of funeral death doom and old school death metal.

As Damien explains, “…this album is a procession through darker corners of human experience. We intend to submerge the listener in a meditative state where they can reflect on the transient nature of existence, its desolation and dread.

Work on these songs has taken over two years, with a focus on intentionally capturing the right feel and atmosphere in each moment. I would spend days experimenting with sounds until every passage had the raw intensity that I was aiming for.

Bands like Decomposed, Disembowelment, Dusk, Evoken, Mournful Congregation, and Esoteric have left a big mark on my way of making music. Yet the inspiration of bands such as Dead Can Dance (especially »Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun«) and Swans, plus being a huge fan of early Swedish and Finnish death metal – Demigod, Demilich, Convulse, Abhorrence, Gorement, Crematory, etc – are quite evident in our new album, adding a contrasting and primal edge to the sound.”

»The Sunset Of Being« was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Alex Sedin.
