Dutch doom-metal collective Ter Ziele proudly unveils their highly anticipated debut album, Embodiment of Death, premiering now at No Clean Singing, ahead of its official release tomorrow, February 28 via Tartarus Records.

Blending crushing heaviness with fragile, haunting melodies, Embodiment of Death is an album that pulls listeners into the depths of soul-searching anguish and earthshaking trauma. No Clean Singing praised the record, stating: “It’s a remarkably intense and involving album, a deep dive into music of soul-searching, oppressiveness, and earthshaking trauma, a sludge/doom titan that’s also sometimes as fragile and poignant as a falling flower.”

The band had this to say about the new track: “With Embodiment Of Death we have been able to translate our collective experiences of loss, frustration and trauma into music. The process of musical refinement, finalizing and multiple lineup changes has ultimately resulted into an album that aligns with the vision we had since the band’s beginning. By addressing recognizable suffering and thoughts that we as humans struggle with, we have not only developed an authentic identity as a band but also demonstrated that our music can create a sense of unity among our listeners. Embodiment Of Death is a prelude to what is yet to come for Ter Ziele and with which we have embarked on a new chapter with Tartarus Records.”

The debut album Embodiment of Death will be released on vinyl, cassette, and digital formats. With a powerful emotional depth and crushing sonic journey, the album promises to immerse listeners in the darkness and anguish of the human experience, offering an unforgettable ride through shadows. Pre-orders are now available at this location.

Formed at the end of 2020, Ter Ziele came together with a shared passion for heavy, heart-wrenching music. With crushing, desolate riffs, fragile melodies, and poignant vocals, the band has crafted a sound that pushes the boundaries of doom, while weaving in elements of post-black metal to create a sonic journey that is both intense and introspective.

Their 2022 singles and energetic performances at international festivals like Into The Grave, Soulcrusher, Into The Void, and Roadburn Offroad have helped Ter Ziele carve out a distinct place in the underground metal scene. The band’s sound, which blends atmospheric bleakness with raw emotional power, continues to resonate deeply with audiences, offering a cathartic exploration of darkness.

Embodiment of Death is the band’s highly anticipated debut album, a product of countless revisions and refinements. The record was produced and mixed by the talented Stijn van Gestel, with JB van der Wal (Gaerea, Herder, Ortega, Verwoed) handling the mastering.
