Online Radio for the Doomed - Doom Metal Radio & Metal Webzine
Litúrgia’s debut album, I, delivers six tracks of Catalan epic doom from Barcelona, sung entirely in their native tongue and rooted in the mythology and landscape of Catalonia. The band perform in hooded pilgrim robes and call themselves the Pilgrim Order of Holy Fear. The model for what they are doing is older than doom metal: Romanesque art, made to teach legends and scripture to a congregation that could not read.
William Friedkin’s 1973 film, adapted from William Peter Blatty’s novel, takes that logic and dismantles it. The Exorcist is a film about a demon who operates through misdirection, feeding medicine, psychiatry, linguistics, and the Church just enough to keep each one looking the wrong way, while saving his most devastating instrument for the one man in the room who is already halfway destroyed.
Kalmo means cadaver in Finnish. The three-piece, Mika on vocals, Pekka on guitar, and Anu on bass, grew from what was originally Mika’s solo project, the expanded lineup appearing for the first time on the 2025 single Thy Chosen One. “Feeding the Worms” is the third in a running series of singles, following Thy Chosen One and Thy Saviour, Thy Master, both from 2025. Mika answered our questions.
Bir Tawil is a strip of desert on the Egypt-Sudan border that neither country claims. In 2013, a musician from Bordeaux, Xavier Godart, named his solo project after it. The logic turned out to run deeper than the name. Dua Min, Birtawil’s 2026 album, is a record about what happens when unclaimed territory finally gets a structure imposed on it: drum machines, live performance, industrial coldness, and six tracks in Esperanto that move from feeling to death. Godart on autonomy, solitude, and the cost of friction.
A signal comes before the full transmission. (((SIGNALS))) is Doomnation Radio’s space for bands to tell us about their new single and what it points toward: why this song came first, where it lives on the album, and what world it carries inside it. Three questions only, the rest is up to them.
STATE OF DOOM #19: NEW AND NEWER SOUNDS IN DOOM METAL
A dolphin skull, a Victorian ghost ship, and Bronze Age bones in a German river. Mirror of Deception’s sixth album knows that nothing stays buried.
Romania’s Mauna Sol on “A New Life” and the secular desert at the heart of The Calling.

Sisyphean’s third album funnels Camus, a medieval emperor’s epithet, and the psychology of manipulation into 42 minutes of dissonant black/death metal from Vilnius. Produced at Poland’s Hertz Studio, Divergence is the sharpest and most daring record yet from a band built around one guitarist’s twelve-year refusal to stop.
Noise, the anonymous German musician behind Kanonenfieber and Leiþa, returns with the fifth Non Est Deus full-length. Blessings and Curses is his most chaotic record yet: melodic black metal built for festival crowds that never loses the claustrophobia of a one-man operation, and an indictment of religious coercion that lets the scripture do the talking.
Drummer Simon on studios, influences, and the particular weight of building something heavy in a city that has never asked for it.
Germany, 1920. The war is lost, the empire is gone, and a Jewish rabbi is building a protector from mud. Paul Wegener’s Der Golem is a film about what happens when the thing you created to save you stops listening.
