EPK – Liminal Spirit – Pathways (2025)
Publicist – Jon Asher – jon[@]ashermediarelations[.]com
“I view this as a full-length release despite its 14-minute duration, because due to the nature of its composition of non-repeating passages, it requires multiple listens to fully cement itself within the listener. The first pass will express the story and characters, and repeated listens will bring both to life through digesting the melodies and composition as a whole.” – Liminal Spirit
For fans of Jesu, Swans, Skepticism, Confessor, Anata

About The Album Artwork:
The artwork is an image of the story: five people trapped in a maze of stone with seemingly no escape.
About the album as a whole (LYRICALLY & MUSICALLY)
The album is composed purposely like that of a movie soundtrack, where the score does not repeat, but certain themes may develop or mutate to reflect character growth throughout the duration. The characters, when speaking (as shown in the lyrics), will accompany a musical shift in tone to reflect their characters and mood as the story develops.
Liminal Spirit, the musical project of multi-instrumentalist Jerry Hauppa, announces the release of “Pathways”, a single-track concept album designed as an immersive journey through spiritual thresholds and interdimensional spaces. Following the 2024 self-titled EP, “Pathways” expands on Liminal Spirit’s signature sound: a rich fusion of doom metal with cinematic atmosphere. Hauppa comments:
“I view this as a full-length release despite its 14-minute duration, because due to the nature of its composition of non-repeating passages, it requires multiple listens to fully cement itself within the listener. The first pass will express the story and characters, and repeated listens will bring both to life through digesting the melodies and composition as a whole.”
Where the debut embraced ritualistic abstraction, “Pathways” introduces a more frenzied, intricate musical approach that perfectly complements its narrative structure. It tells the story of five figures trapped in a maze, chronicling their emotional processing and planned escape. The composition unfolds like a film score, with no repeating parts until the finale. Musical themes develop and mutate to reflect character growth, with distinct tonal shifts accompanying each character’s voice in the narrative.
This thoughtful composition rewards repeat listening, revealing new layers with each experience. The album’s structure mirrors its lyrical themes, all concerning transcendence beyond the physical form and transitions between spiritual planes. “Pathways” represents the second chapter in an ongoing exploration of spiritual passage. A third release, currently in development, promises to continue this cinematic journey through liminal spaces. Liminal Spirit is recommended for fans of Jesu, Swans, and Skepticism.
