Mallorca, Spain’s renowned doom metal band Helevorn is now dropping their fifth studio album, “Espectres” which promises to deliver a gloomy, gothic, and doomy metal listening experience. Following significant line-up changes over the past three years, Helevorn has emerged stronger and more creative than ever. The band enlisted the talents of Sebastià Barceló (Trallery) for drum recordings, adding a new dynamic to their sound. This album represents a slight departure from Helevorn‘s previous work, with new guitarist Alex composing 60% of the material. Fans can expect the familiar atmospheric and emotional depth Helevorn is known for, but with a rawer, more technical edge. The band shares the details behind the album:
“This album is based on Hauntology, described first by Jaques Derrida and after by the philosopher Mark Fisher. He wrote “The Ghosts of My Life”, an amazing book where he describes the ‘slow cancellation of future’, and a lot of great concepts about the specters and the absences. How they make us what we really are. Is a fantastic concept to write a Doom Metal album isn’t it?”
While still rooted in their self-coined “Mediterranean Doom” style, this album leans more heavily into pure doom and metal elements. The band promises a less epic, less folk-influenced sound, focusing instead on the core essence of doom metal. Helevorn thinks it can be an intense experience for those who want to connect something very emotional and very philosophic with dark and gloomy music.
Helevorn will be embarking on an extensive live tour, after the release of the album. Those with an interest in Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride, and Draconian, will appreciate the art that they are creating.
Due out on September 13, 2024, from Meuse Music Records, “Espectres” is available for album order (Vinyl/CD) at http://www.helevorn.com/shop | Helevornofficial.bandcamp.com

“Espectres is an album of the utmost quality that delivers a punch of moodiness, melancholy and emotion while managing to still be pretty damn heavy. It’s an album that deserves to be heard and once you listen to it, it’s going to be hard to stop repeating it over and over again.10/10” – Games, Brrraaains & Head-Banging-Life
“What it does is push the boundaries of the genre with subtle experimentation, emotive songwriting, and a deep understanding of the human condition. Helevorn has crafted an album that is both introspective and outwardly forceful, making it a vital listen for any fan of doom in 2024.” – Sentinel Daily
