Balearic Islands, Spain based doom/death metal band SolNegre has unveiled new single and lyric video »Strahlung I« feat. members of German funeral doom/death metal act Urza and Gabi Escalas (Aeolian).

Says the band: “»Strahlung I« – (initially, Schmerz folgt mir) is about the negativity we carry and the way it makes us terribly toxic to those around us.

When pain does not remain private, it radiates outward and pours, becoming cruelty and harm that we physically pass on to others.

We learned to live with this guilt, and we learned to lose dear friends and loved ones because of this.

As always, SolNegre is as real as it can be.

With this song, we pay homage to the German doom and dark metal bands that have shaped our relationship with negativity, in special our dear titans Bethlehem.

We look to that scene with reverence and admiration for its bizarre, unsettling and unique character. With us are Stefan, Olli and Marc at the amazing Urza contributing to the narration, while Gabi Escalas at Aeolian delivers virtuosity and dramatic truth.”

SolNegre is a doom/death metal band from Balearic Islands (Spain).

The band was formed in 2022 by Gebre and Rigel, bandmates since 1995 and founders and composers on the Doom Metal sextet Helevorn. They are surrounded in the project by Tom (formerly drummer in the legendary doom band Golgotha) and Ûkh.

The musical inspiration is taken from the old school greats of doom/death metal from the ’90s, referring to well-known bands, but keeping a very personal approach. All the lyrical content and the conceptual canvas come from personal experiences fighting trauma, anxiety and a highly functional depression.

»Anthems For The Grand Collapse« is a collection of deep reflections about aging, physical and mental decay, personal frustration for all the un-accomplished and a deep reflection on a hard life lived hand to hand along with an imposter syndrome.

The album also includes the first-hand account of lysergic and transcendental visions coming from episodes of deep existential crisis, personal failure and rejection. The 40+ minutes heaviness, composed by 5 songs, verse on the deep wish to dissolve and to return to a source beyond the veils of time, where there is no pain, no rejection, and no suffering.

SolNegre about »Strahlung I«:

“On this day of mourning, we give you »Strahlung I«. The last of the Anthems. Our final transmission before retreating into the darkness where inspiration bleeds.

About the negativity we carry, how our pain becomes cruelty, and the guilt of hurting and losing those we love.

Also a tribute to German doom and dark metal, especially our revered Jürgen Bartsch. Featuring Stefan, Olli and Marc from Urza, one of the leading pillars of today’s funeral doom scene, lending their voices to the narration, and Gabi Escalas (Aeolian), delivering extraordinary virtuosity and proving once again why Aeolian is a force of nature. The inspiring artwork is again made by Hans Trasid.”
