Today, HM is proud to premiere an early listen of the seismic new single from metalcore breakouts What Lies Below, “Monolith,” as the band makes the final stop on the way towards their upcoming full-length, I Let it Consume Me.

Australian death-doom collective REEKMIND is set to release its new EP Glints From The Crematorium on CD and 12” vinyl format on July 24th, 2026 through Night Terrors Records, further expanding the band’s bleak and emotionally devastating sonic universe.
Building upon the foundations established with their debut full-length, the group now pushes its sound into more exploratory territory, embracing new twists, dynamic shifts and experimental textures without sacrificing any of its crushing heaviness.
Rooted in massive riffs, oppressive atmospheres and an overwhelming sense of emotional collapse, REEKMIND continues to channel a form of catharsis where despair and weight coexist in perfect balance. The new material preserves the raw and organic intensity that defined the band’s earlier work, while broadening its expressive scope through more fluid structures and a deeper focus on tension, contrast and immersive pacing.
The EP also features guest vocals by Daniel Butler (Vastum, Decrepisy, Acephalix) on “Flesh Draped on a Pitiful Frame”, adding an additional layer of hostility and anguish to the release. Furthermore, the track “Rehearsal in a Body of Death” will appear exclusively as a bonus track on the physical edition and will not be made available digitally.
“‘Cyst Megalith’ is our first proper foray into a faster tempo of muck and aural detritus. It results in our shortest non-instrumental song to date, a stark contrast when paired with the longest and darkest song thus far on this EP. ‘Cyst’ expresses the growing mound of mental trauma that manifests into a growth encompassing a being past the point of recognition. A bridge from ‘Mired In The Reek Of Grief’ to our next LP, this single showcases a forthcoming darker, more unforgiving sound that continues to manifest onwards”.
