‘In Perfect Stillness’, the debut full-length album from Northern Ireland’s Domhain, has been released through These Hands Melt, and so too have videos for the tracks ‘Talamh Lom’ and ‘My Tomb Beneath The Tide’ featured on it.
The band said: “‘Una Tarra Ci Hé’ and ‘Talamh Lom’ are the opening tracks of our new album. They develop the concept of our first EP ‘Nimue’, but from the point of view of a human being. One who feels close to nature and yet contemplates the damages created by his own species. It is a meditation on death as return rather than ending.
“Rooted in forest, soil, and ancestral memory, the song follows a final offering of body and spirit back to the land: where decay becomes rebirth and the self dissolves into ocean, mountain, and earth. It mourns a world stripped of soul and freedom, while quietly affirming an infinite connection that survives beyond flesh and time.”
Described as an emotional mix of post-black metal, blackgaze, and atmospheric black metal, alongside distinctive vocal harmonies and cello, Domhain features Andy Ennis (vocals and bass guitar), Anaïs Chareyre-Méjan (drums, vocals and cello), Nathan Irvine (guitars) and Ashley Irwin (guitars and backing vocals), with guest appearances from John Wilson (piano) and Raul Andueza (cello) on the album track ‘Footsteps II’.
The full track listing is: ‘Una Tarra Ci Hé’, ‘Talamh Lom’, ‘Footsteps II’, ‘In Perfect Stillness’ and ‘My Tomb Beneath The Tide’.
The band will showcase the new album live at their album launch show on Saturday 7th March at The Voodoo in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
