Italian doom metal outfit Shores Of Null have released their new single »An Easy Way«, a devastatingly poignant track that opens their upcoming split album »Latitudes Of Sorrow« with Finnish funeral doom masters Convocation. The split arrives on November 21st via Everlasting Spew Records.
»An Easy Way« was chosen for its immediacy and emotional impact, a rare blend of haunting darkness and melodic catchiness. Lyrically, it confronts depression, inner struggle, and the fragile line between perseverance and surrender. It’s a reflection on human frailty, wrapped in a soundscape that’s both oppressive and unforgettable.
”It’s the most straightforward track on the split. Catchy, yes, but it leaves very little room for hope,” says the band.
The split album »Latitudes Of Sorrow« is a collaboration born from shared artistic vision. When Everlasting Spew Records approached Shores Of Null mid-way through writing their next full-length, the band seized the opportunity to finish and record three exclusive tracks that might have otherwise remained in the shadows. The result is a darker, more hopeless sonic offering, a perfect complement to Convocation’s funeral doom intensity.

”Two sides of the same coin. Opposite latitudes, but a shared desire to explore sorrow in all its forms,” the band explains.
The album’s artwork, created by LL of Convocation, features a spectral figure and an empty chair, a haunting symbol of presence in absence. Musically and lyrically, Latitudes of Sorrow is a journey through grief, solitude, and the inescapable weight of mortality.
For fans of Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Evoken, and Esoteric, »Latitudes Of Sorrow« offers one of the most grievous and heavy splits in recent memory, a sonic reckoning that will finally make all your summers end.
»An Easy Way« is streaming now on all major platforms. »Latitudes Of Sorrow« drops digitally and on CD and Cassette physical format on November 21st via Everlasting Spew Records. The vinyl edition of the split will be issued in Spring 2026.

About Shores Of Null:
Shores Of Null stand out from their contemporaries with their ability to blend seemingly disparate elements into their sound, overwhelmingly heavy and soothing at the same time: blackened aggression stands alongside gothic-doom sections without either sounding out of place. Their music can be both melancholic and majestic, made of chorale-like guitar textures across the instrument’s entire range, sustained by a powerful rhythmic section and punctuated by a refined mixture of clean and growled vocals, along with extensive use of pleasing vocal harmonies which have become the band’s trademark through the years.
The Rome-based metal band has been an unwavering presence within the metal underground since their musical outset in 2013, churning out a series of impressive records: the melodic and somber »Quiescence« (Candlelight, 2014), the darker and more complex »Black Drapes For Tomorrow« (Candlelight/Spinefarm, 2017), and the ambitious »Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)« (Spikerot Records, 2020), a 38-minute long doom manifesto that sees guest appearances of the doom-titans Mikko Kotamäki (Swallow The Sun) and Thomas A.G. Jensen (Saturnus), along with the angelic voice of Elisabetta Marchetti (Inno).
Shores Of Null’s fourth album, »The Loss Of Beauty«, released in March 2023, was hailed as one of the best albums of the year within the genre. The band supported the release with an extensive EU/UK tour alongside Swallow The Sun, Draconian, and Avatarium, followed by standout performances at major festivals like Hellfest, Rock Imperium, and 70000 Tons Of Metal, among others, further solidifying their status as one of the rising forces in the metal scene.
In 2025, Shores Of Null released »Beauty Over Europe«, a powerful live album capturing the raw energy and emotional depth of their performances across the continent. The release serves as a testament to the band’s commanding stage presence and the resonance of their music with audiences worldwide. Looking ahead, the band is set to unveil Latitudes of Sorrow, a highly anticipated split album with Finnish funeral doom masters Convocation, promising a profound exploration of grief, atmosphere, and sonic weight.
