Death Has Spoken emerged from the shadows of Poland’s metal underground in early 2017, carving a distinctive path through the bleak landscapes of death-doom. Originally formed in Polish town Białystok as a one-off studio project, the band quickly transformed into a full-fledged entity following the recording – and warm reception – of their debut album, »Fade«. Drawing inspiration from the genre’s early pioneers, Death Has Spoken blends melancholic melodies with crushing heaviness, echoing the despair and darkness that have come to define their musical identity.
»Within The Hills« is a song about transience and the role of nature, whose mysteriousness and eternal presence make it impossible to forget and avoid. Single comes with the video available on YouTube.
“»Within The Hills« is a story about silence, which is more disturbing than the loudest scream. It is a journey through dark landscapes where every step brings you closer to an encounter with an inevitable shadow.” – Death Has Spoken talks about their single.

Their debut album, »Fade« (2017), marked the beginning of Death Has Spoken’s journey into the depths of slow, heavy, and emotionally charged music. Built around sorrowful melodies and thick, weighty riffs, the album delved into themes of mortality and the unknown, exploring the timeless question: is death truly an end, or just the beginning? The lyrics, loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s works, added a haunting touch to their sound.
In 2020, Death Has Spoken released single »Downfall« as part of the split EP »Unyielding«, collaborating with other artists in the Polish doom metal scene. This release offered a glimpse of the band’s evolving style and set the stage for their next chapter.
With 2021’s second full-length, »Call Of The Abyss«, the band stepped further into the gloom – deepening their exploration of existential dread. The album, rooted in the atmospheric depths of ’90s doom/death and the second wave of black metal, paid homage to Lovecraftian visions of madness and mystery.
In 2022, Death Has Spoken paid tribute to one of their most significant influences, Katatonia, by releasing a cover of the iconic track »Brave«. The following year, 2023, they ventured into new sonic territories with the synthwave-infused split EP »Doomed To Gloom«, further expanding their musical horizons while retaining their signature melancholic essence.
Death Has Spoken is joining forces with Meuse Music Records to release their third full-length album, »Elegy« which is set for release in October 2025.
