German stoner/doom band VAST PYRE will release their highly anticipated self-titled debut full-length album on August 30th via Octopus Rising!
Today, the band unveils full album details and releases the new single 'Eternal Funeral,' now streaming here: youtu.be/SOVtUFvaQnw
"Beware those dark pleasures which surround you: Before the Vast Pyre fulfills its relentless force, you'll dwell in a constantly obsessed mind with the second single „Eternal Funeral“. VAST PYRE is a mirror of failure; reflection of the soul; adrift inadequacies and human obscurities. Come, and enter a world of heavy-hypnotising riffs and unhinged souls. BEHOLD THE NIGHTTIME" - VAST PYRE comments on the single
The album tracklisting is as follows:
Focus Deceased
Cataleptic
Revelation
Eternal Funeral
The Argent Tomb
In the end of 2021 Försti (guitar) and Wally (drums, vocals) were in the mood and got together to jam some Stoner/Doom tunes from Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath, Sleep etc. and hanging out from time to time. Genre-specific, they knew what they wanted. After some sessions and finding the right sound, they concentrated on writing their own songs - a few ideas got discarded.
Bit by bit, they extended their backline/equipment in the rehearsal room, because they needed to add more low-end to the guitar. In the end, there was a huge backline that drove their sound and they decided to not put in any bass-guitar as an instrument separately: they just wanted to make "guitar-only" music.
Later, their friend Jonny (lead guitar) joined the band at the end of 2022. Henceforth, the songs were rearranged and fine tuned. In August 2023 Vast Pyre opened for the Festival "Burgbrand Open Air" and shared the stage with bands like EREMIT and INDIAN NIGHTMARE, to name just a few. That should be the only concert they played that year, because first they wanted to record/mix their stuff, what they eventually did from November 2023 to February this year.

![THRÆDS - Nothing Good to Say (official video) [Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TMAkiEd3TBo/mqdefault.jpg "THRÆDS - Nothing Good to Say (official video) [Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records]
Progressive post-rockers THRÆDS have just released their new single and official video “Nothing Good to Say”, taken from their debut album Impermanence, which will be released on June 6 via Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records, available on CD and digital formats.
THRÆDS dives deep into the complexities of time, self-awareness, and resilience with their latest track, Nothing Good to Say. Fusing progressive post-rock with atmospheric shoegaze elements, the song creates a brooding yet introspective soundscape that mirrors the journey of confronting bitterness while striving to remain curious and humble.
Laced with raw emotion, the lyrics grapple with inner struggles—asking how much hostility and tragedy one can endure before learning to let go. Themes of surrendering control, embracing lifes uncertainties, and resisting darker temptations weave through haunting melodies and expansive instrumentals. Ethereal guitar layers and dynamic buildups guide listeners through a contemplative experience, balancing tension with reflection.
Nothing Good to Say invites listeners to look time in the eye, acknowledge life’s harsh realities, and find peace in vulnerability. It’s a reminder that even amidst chaos and disillusionment, there’s strength in choosing growth over bitterness, and curiosity over fear.
With Impermanence, THRÆDS explore the fragile and fleeting nature of existence through eight meticulously composed tracks. The band confronts the inevitability of entropy and the cycles of creation and destruction, shaping a sound that is both intense and immersive. Their music evolves between moments of overwhelming heaviness and eerie stillness, reflecting the unpredictable forces that shape human experience.
Formed in 2019 by guitarist and composer Angelos Tzamtzis, THRÆDS began as a solo project and quickly developed into a full band following his move to Berlin. Their multinational lineup blends progressive metal, post-metal and atmospheric rock with influences from Gojira, Tool, Alcest, Elder and Porcupine Tree.
Tracklist:
1.Timeless
2.Reflections
3.Nothing Good to Say
4.Clockworks
5.Sole Survivor
6.Devolve
7.Einstein Rosen Bridge
8.Story in Reverse
The album is entirely self-produced. Drums and vocals were recorded by Matthias Schilling at G7 Studios, while all other instruments were recorded by Angelos Tzamtzis. Guest contributions by Alekos Gramma (saxophone) and Vangelis Sazanidis (synthesizer) add further tension and depth to the sound, amplifying the album’s haunting and cinematic atmosphere.
According to the band, Impermanence is a meditation on change and collapse, a reflection on the violence and beauty of transformation. Their aim is to create an unfiltered and honest experience, using dissonance, atmosphere and dynamic shifts to challenge the listener and evoke a strong emotional response.
THRÆDS are:
Angelos Tzamtzis – Guitar, Synthesizer
Celso Borralho – Vocals
Felipe Melo Villarroel – Drums
Barnabás Mihály – Bass
Tim Crawford – Guitar, Backing Vocals
Following the release of their debut EP Akasha and a European tour in 2022, Impermanence marks a new chapter for the band, who are now preparing to bring their sound to new audiences across Europe.
