Luxembourg‑based atmospheric doom act Ptolemea has released the official video for “Breathe”, offering yet another striking visual chapter from their critically acclaimed album Kali, issued last year via Raging Planet Records. The album Kali also got nominated for Terra Relicta's Dark Music Awards 2025.

Fronted by Priscila Da Costa — the unmistakable voice also known for her work with Portuguese doom visionaries Sinistro — Ptolemea continues to dissolve the borders between doom, post‑rock and cinematic ambience. On Kali, the band reached a new creative apex: monolithic riffs rise like tectonic plates, ethereal melodies drift through the cracks, and Da Costa’s emotionally charged performance binds everything together with a sense of vulnerability that feels both intimate and immense.

Released to widespread critical praise, Kali quickly established itself as Ptolemea’s most accomplished work to date. It is a record that embraces darkness without being consumed by it, balancing crushing weight with moments of luminous beauty — a meditation on grief, resilience and the quiet strength found in breath itself.

Earlier this year, Ptolemea carried the haunting universe of Kali across Europe, touring alongside renowned folk‑doom collective Sangre de Muerdago. Their performances brought the album’s atmospheric world to life, enveloping audiences in a soundscape where doom, ritual and dreamlike melancholy converge.

With “Breathe”, Ptolemea reaffirms its place among Europe’s most evocative doom‑adjacent acts — an act capable of transforming heaviness into something profoundly human. Link
