Swedish melodic death metal band Thermality is proud to announce the release of their latest album, a heavy, melodic masterpiece poised to make its mark on the world. Born in 2020 near the melodic death metal capital of Gothenburg, Thermality has quickly established themselves as torchbearers of the genre. With deep roots in the 90s and early 2000s melodic death metal, they have crafted a sound that resonates with fans across the globe, blending nostalgia with innovation.
Following the acclaimed debut album “Before I Get to Rest” in February 2023, Thermality continued to channel their creative energy, releasing the highly praised EP “Tales from the North” on June 30, 2023.

Under the expert guidance of Fredrik Nordström, who mixed and mastered the album, Thermality has delivered a work that embodies the essence of traditional melodic death metal while pushing the boundaries of the genre.
This new album pays homage to the pioneers of melodic death metal, such as In Flames, Children of Bodom, Amon Amarth, and Arch Enemy, yet transcends mere tribute. Thermality weaves together diverse styles and sounds, creating something truly unique and refreshing. Heavier than its predecessor yet rich in melody, the album features iconic old-school death metal drums and captivating melodies that are sure to enthrall listeners.
Each track on the album is a meticulously crafted labor of love, inviting listeners on a sonic journey that is both familiar and exhilaratingly new. Thermality’s latest work is not just a collection of songs but an evolution of melodic death metal through the lens of artists who respect its origins while daring to explore uncharted territories.
Thermality invites fans, old and new, to dive into this groundbreaking album and experience the evolution of melodic death metal. This album is a beacon for the genre’s vibrant future, showcasing the band’s sheer dedication and passion for their craft.
This is what Ludvig Sommar and Hampus Sätterlund has to say about the album.
On “The Final Hours” we experimented a lot with clean guitars and acoustic guitar to make the album more dynamic whilst also giving the listeners to a chance to drift off and forget about reality for a little while. The album also has a lot more keys created by us in the band this time around which also helps add another layer to the music.
