UK doom metal titans GODTHRYMM are pleased to present their latest single, “The Sun Never Fell.” The track comes off the band’s superb third album, Projections, set for release on May 29th via Profound Lore Records.

Projections completes the band’s Visions Trilogy which began with their 2020 debut, Reflections, followed by 2023’s Distortions full-length. Since the release of Reflections, GODTHRYMM has been recognized as the new emerging band from the UK to bring back the glorious aura of early-mid ‘90s UK doom metal, most notably formulated by the Paceville Three (My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema).

Considering GODTHRYMM was formed and is helmed by UK doom metal veteran Hamish Glencross (formerly of My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, and Solstice) and features doom metal drummer extraordinaire Shaun Taylor-Steels (formerly of My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Solstice), that classic UK doom metal DNA has already been implemented within the sonic fabric of GODTHRYMM.

Projections builds upon the cornerstones of Distortions. Now with an expanded lineup which includes keyboardist and co-vocalist Catherine Glencross, bassist Bob Crolla, and new second guitarist Kris McLaughin, Projections is GODTHRYMM’s most layered, varied, and complex release yet, all while still upholding the colossal emotionally charged heavy doom backbone that has defined the core of the band’s sound. Projections is also the band’s most aggressive album to date.

Offer Glencross on today’s single, “We present ‘The Sun Never Fell’ as our second single from Projections, as it showcases the more grandiose epic sound of the band full of vocal harmonies, layer upon layer of instrumentation and massive riffs. The song strives to shine light through crushing darkness, with hope leading out of despair.” 

Stream GODTHRYMM’s “The Sun Never Fell” HERE.

Watch GODTHRYMM’s previously released video for “Truth In My Own” HERE. 

Projections includes guest vocals from original English Dogs vocalist Adie Bailey and Xentrix vocalist Jay Walsh on “Trenches Deep.” Additionally, now former My Dying Bride vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe appears on “Endure My Skin,” reuniting once again with his former My Dying Bride bandmates Glencross and Steels.

This time the iconic vocalist takes center stage for the bulk of the track, whereas on Distortions, Stainthorpe provided more of a spoken word segment on the track “Follow Me”.

Projections was recorded at various stages throughout the last year at different studios with Andy Hawkins and Glencross at the helm. Cover art was done by Mitchell Nolte.

Projections will be release on CD, LP, and digital formats. Find all preorders HERE.
