in this house of mourning – »Enlèvement«
Album out August 8th, 2025
Self-released
Physical release TBD
Woken from slumber, seething and with ill-intent, is New York’s in this house of mourning (ITHOM). Masterminded by Ben Ianuzzi (formerly of experimental doom/sludge group Mountain God), ITHOM returns with its distinct, searing brand of death and funeral doom, extreme metal, and more with new album »Enlèvement«, out August 8.
Drawing inspiration from the 90’s extreme metal scene and human failings, Ianuzzi weaves a web of cryptic, vile cacophonies across five tracks, melding spidery blackened passages with monstrous riffs and demonic vocals.
In the band’s own words:
“»Enlèvement« is the sonic embodiment of how I feel about the world the majority of the time. Each day. I channel everything good in me to get through, to do my job effectively, and to help people. Once nightfall hits, reality also hits, in the sense that it’s fairly obvious that most adults are awful, selfish, conniving, and serve their own interests no matter how it impacts others. This record is for and about those awful souls. In a perfect world, what happens to the antagonist in these 30-odd minutes of conceptual riffing, would happen to those people. If there are aliens hovering over usget to work! And, if you listen to »Enlèvement« and are offended, thank you, as you unconsciously provided inspiration for the record.”
What’s next:
“Depending on how the tide comes in, there are plans for several special ‘immersive’ shows where we play the whole record live. And yes, the next record is already being written.”
