UK doom metal outfit Godthrymm have announced their third full-length, Projections, set for release on 29 May via Profound Lore Records. Marking the final chapter in the band's ambitious Visions Trilogy, the announcement arrives alongside the first video single, "Truth In My Own".

With Projections, Godthrymm bring to completion a journey that began with their 2020 debut Reflections and continued with 2023's critically acclaimed Distortions. Over the years since Reflections, the band have steadily carved out a reputation as one of the UK doom scene's most compelling rising forces, frequently praised for channelling the spirit of early‑to‑mid '90s British doom metal—a sound synonymous with genre pioneers My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Anathema.

That lineage is deeply rooted in the band's core. Godthrymm is led by veteran guitarist and vocalist Hamish Glencross (ex‑My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, Solstice) and features drummer Shaun Taylor‑Steels (ex‑My Dying Bride, Anathema, Solstice). With such a pedigree at its foundation, the band's sonic identity naturally carries the unmistakable DNA of classic UK doom.

Yet Projections is far from a mere exercise in nostalgia. Building upon the expansive groundwork laid by Distortions, the new album sees Godthrymm pushing their sound further still. With an expanded line‑up now including keyboardist and co‑vocalist Catherine Glencross, bassist Bob Crolla, and second guitarist Kris McLaughin, Projections emerges as the band's most layered, varied, and compositionally ambitious work to date—while retaining the colossal emotional weight that defines their sound. It also stands as their most aggressive release so far.

As Hamish Glencross elaborates: "On this new album, we present to you songs that channel our passion, our sorrow, our love, our fury - the very essence that makes us who we are, and we hope you find some kindred reflection in yourselves on this journey. Our first album, Reflections, was a rekindling of our passion and fire for the music we love, the second album, Distortions, took that template and evolved it ever further with grandeur and vision. Projections takes everything that has brought to this point, and delves into our very musical souls with the appropriate introspection, diversity and contrasts of our emotions that define us. This is who we are, and we project all of this through our new album".

He continues: "The vision and writing for Projections commenced as the recording of the previous album Distortions was in its completion. The direction was to push ourselves further in musical scope and complexity, and was then driven further by artistic ambition in a new lineup showcased on The Light EP, but also then influenced by life's challenges and subsequent personal tragedy within the band. The songs are a reflection of love, sorrow and fury which we all feel".

The album was recorded in stages throughout the past year at various studios, with Andy Hawkins and Hamish Glencross overseeing production. The cover artwork was created by Mitchell Nolte.

To celebrate the release, Godthrymm will host an album launch show on 6 June at the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds, in partnership with Crash Records. Link
