Bulgarian black metal band 𝐃𝐢𝐦𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐭 are set to release their long-awaited third full-length album, “𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦”, in the final quarter of 2025. Alongside the announcement, the band have revealed the album’s striking cover art.

Recorded during two sessions in 2024, the drums were tracked in Sofia (“Pepinio Records” / Yordan Borisov & Petar Bratanov, while the remaining instruments and vocals took shape at “𝐎𝐩𝐮𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨” (Opus Magnum Studios ) in Brussels under the direction of 𝐃é𝐡à (Олмослав Липанов ), who also handled mixing and mastering.

Frontman 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 comments:

“It’s been quite some time since “𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐭ē𝐦ē”. Its release unfortunately coincided with turbulent times, which inevitably affected its promotion. With “𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦”, we wanted to carefully refine our sound and capture the truest expression of the band as it stands today. Working with 𝐃é𝐡à again felt natural—beyond our friendship, there’s a deep creative chemistry that pushed us forward.”

“𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦” features eight tracks that explore themes of metaphysics, cosmic vastness, and existential darkness:

𝟎𝟏. 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦

𝟎𝟐. 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐎𝐟 𝐃𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

𝟎𝟑. 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐦

The album’s visual concept was brought to life by Bulgarian artist 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐢 𝐈𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐚 / 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 (Sinister Scenes ), known for her evocative concert photography. Speaking about the collaboration, the band state:

“𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐯𝐢 has captured some of our most memorable live moments over the years. We trusted her with “𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐦” artwork after just one conversation—and the result exceeded all expectations. She truly managed to capture the atmosphere of the record.”

First track off the album will be presented in the coming weeks. More details and news on band’s activities to be announced in due time.
