Update
Hey, everybody. Very quiet from the Aspherium camp lately. Even a cancelled show. Really sorry about that for those who were looking forward to it. Sometimes you gotta prioritize health, mental health specifically.
If you've been paying attention to our lyrics it may not be a huge surprise that things get pretty dark at times for me (Marius). It reached a boiling point of sorts, and I needed (still need) a time-out and help.
We will be playing the show at Garasjefestivalen June 19th, so that will be awesome. Hope to see you there.
The EP and the new album have been delayed due to mental health issues. But it will happen. At some point. We have a new song that is ready to be mixed, so that will be released maybe late summer.
We're writing for the next album, and have the concept and a lot of ideas . But it will take longer than we had initially planned/hoped. Will definitely be worth waiting for, though.
Thanks for great feedback on our latest single, Terminal Orbit! It has been getting more plays on streaming than our last few singles, so that's fun.
Terminal Orbit is available for streaming everywhere, or you can be awesome and buy it on Bandcamp!
We will also be releasing an EP with the three previously released singles, and a fourth song as yet unreleased.
STUDIOPHERIUM
For the time-being, we are recording at various places instead of spending money on studio-time. Drums recorded at our rehearsal space, same with vocals. Guitars, bass and synths etc recording in our home studios.

ABOUTPHERIUM
Aspherium is a progressive death metal band from Norway, known for fusing death and thrash metal with blackened riffs, melodic passages, and modern textures. Their sound balances aggression and atmosphere, with lyrics that explore existential themes, societal decay, and inner turmoil.
Aspherium has never been afraid to explore the darker corners of the human experience, and Terminal Orbit is a reflection of that identity. Over the years, we’ve carved out our own space in the Norwegian metal scene driven by a love for massive riffs, intricate arrangements, and emotional storytelling. Draped in melodic death metal at its core, it hits hard with a really catchy guitar riff that also serves as the songs chorus, which returns with clean vocals. Something usually saved for the more "ballady" type songs. But it works fantastic here. The song also dives into a darker and heavier feels where the prog metal shines through a bit more, before it takes a turn to an almost "folky" mellow section.
Their previous single, The Silence Replies, pushes the band further into emotionally charged territory. Recorded and mixed entirely in-house, it showcases Aspherium’s sharpened production instincts and evolving sonic identity. The track blends crushing heaviness with haunting melodic layers, reflecting on depression, internal conflict, and the feeling of being stuck inside your own dark thoughts with no escape.
Released prior to it, Architects of the Hollowedmarked the beginning of this new chapter. Also produced entirely by the band, it highlighted their growing DIY ethos and sonic precision. The track confronts humanity’s obsession with power and materialism at the cost of empathy and progress.
Breaking the Gloomhammerdives into mental health with raw honesty, wrapped in powerful melodic death metal hooks. It remains one of the band’s most emotionally direct and cathartic songs.
Their third album, The Embers of Eternity(2019), is an ambitious concept record that sharpened their songwriting and storytelling. Earlier releases like The Fall of Therenia(2014), mixed by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, earned critical acclaim and landed the band on tour with Decapitated and slots at major festivals.
The debut, The Veil of Serenity(2011), was hailed as “a genuinely awe-inspiring work” by Sputnikmusic, praised for its seamless blend of genres and emotional depth. Since then, Aspherium has shared stages with acts like Ihsahn, Satyricon, and Susperia, steadily building a reputation as one of Norway’s most compelling underground metal bands.
