Swedish post-metal outfit Dimwind have dropped their new single ‘My Uninvited Host’, and if you want to hear something interestingly underground, turn this one up loud.
The track is the first taste of their upcoming third album The Carrion Waltz, due independently in April 2026, and it marks a significant evolution for the band. What started as an instrumental duo in 2019, formed by guitarist Andreas Hansen and drummer Jonas Eriksson, has become a fully formed trio with the addition of vocalist Misha Sedini (ex-Come Sleep, ex-Lingua). His arrival has completely reshaped the sound, and ‘My Uninvited Host’ makes that transformation unmistakable. We’re talking heavy metal, pounding drums, shouty vocals, and LOADS of mixed up melody all crashing into each other. It’s a frenzy, and it’s underground metal at its finest.
The band describe the track’s emotional core: “My Uninvited Host is a song about the panic and despair that comes when everything you are and hold dear is threatened to be taken away from you by an enemy you don’t know how to fight.”
That vulnerability cuts through the heaviness in a way that feels powerful. Hansen and Eriksson have been collaborating since the late ’90s, building a catalogue through the now defunct UK indie label Trepanation Recordings with debut Slow Wave Violence (2021), split EP Seasons with Breaths (2022), and The Futility of Breathing (2023). But when writing began for album three, the duo craved renewal. Sedini, who stepped away from music after Lingua disbanded in 2012, turned out to be the missing piece, grounding the band’s expansive post-metal in something rawer, heavier, and more layered.
The Carrion Waltz spans six tracks across 41 minutes, blending alternative post-metal with progressive sludge. If ‘My Uninvited Host’ is anything to go by, this album is going to hit hard.
