UK doom metal veterans GODTHRYMM have unveiled their second single ‚The Sun Never Fell‘, taken from their forthcoming third album ‚Projections‘. The record is set for release on May 29 via Profound Lore Records, completing a trilogy that began with their 2020 debut ‚Reflections‘.UK doom metal heavyweights GODTHRYMM have released ‚The Sun Never Fell‘, the second single from their highly anticipated third full-length album ‚Projections‘, due out May 29 on Profound Lore Records. Following the debut of opener ‚Truth In My Own‘, the new track showcases the band’s more expansive and atmospheric side, weaving crushing heaviness together with soaring vocal harmonies and densely layered instrumentation.
Guitarist and vocalist Hamish Glencross describes the track as representative of the band’s more grandiose epic sound, noting that the song strives to shine light through crushing darkness, with hope leading out of despair.
‚Projections‘ brings to a close a thematic trilogy that began with ‚Reflections‘ in 2020 and continued with the critically acclaimed ‚Distortions‘ in 2023. Over the course of that journey, GODTHRYMM have steadily established themselves as one of the most compelling voices in the UK doom scene, drawing on a lineage closely associated with genre pioneers such as My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Anathema.
That pedigree is no coincidence. GODTHRYMM is fronted by Hamish Glencross, formerly of My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, and Solstice, and features drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels, who has served time in My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Solstice. With ‚Projections‘, the expanded lineup pushes the band’s sound into new levels of depth, complexity, and dynamic range, while retaining the emotionally charged heaviness that has defined GODTHRYMM from the outset. The album was recorded at various studios with Andy Hawkins and Glencross producing, and features cover artwork by Mitchell Nolte.
To celebrate the release, GODTHRYMM will headline an album launch show on June 6 at Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, in partnership with Crash Records.
