Poland's funeral death/doom metal duo Postmortal has presented the first track, "Fallen", from its upcoming debut album, Profundis Omnis, set for release on 9 May via Aesthetic Death.
Meticulously crafted with an unwavering passion for the genre, this release sees the band channel the bleak, monolithic essence of funeral doom's greats. With a deep understanding of the style's fundamental elements, Postmortal shaped its sound into a crushing and immersive experience, delivering a hauntingly atmospheric and devastatingly heavy interpretation.
The idea to create a funeral doom band was born in 2015 during the Czech metal music festival Brutal Assault, where most original members of the band were present: Michał (guitar), Karol (guitar), Sludge (bass) and Kamila (drums). In those days, Postmortal was officially created, soon joined by Dawid (vocals), and Paweł, who replaced Sludge. Rehearsals and writing of the first songs began, and by late 2017/early 2018, the band did two gigs in its hometown of Krakow, the only gigs to date.
In April 2018, Kamil replaced Karol, and the band recorded the Soil EP. Shortly after these recordings, the drummer left the band. The band, despite a lengthy search, didn't find her successor, so it went into hiatus.
In 2024, two original members, Dawid and Michał, decided to reactivate Postmortal as a two-person project with ideas and focus on creating a debut studio album. The same year, Profundis Omnis was recorded, adapting tracks mostly written during the band's early period.
Monolithic, bleak and primal, Postmortal embraces the atmosphere of funeral doom overlords such as Thergothon, Tyranny, The Funeral Orchestra, Catacombs, and Evoken. Link
