NEWSPHERIUM
1. September 2025
Things have been bit slow in the Aspherium camp this summer, but we do have a new single coming up soon!
I'm working on the mix right now. It's sounding really awesome. The song is super heavy and dark. It's about being trapped inside your own mind (my mind specifically, not a nice place). This one was a bit of a headache to mix, coming in at 81 tracks. These "new" songs were recorded quite a while ago, so the recordings are not all optimal. Our next recording project(s) after these songs are released will likely see a much quicker release.
We have four songs recorded. We released the first one, Architects of the Hollowed last year. The next song is coming this very soon, with the final two dropping this winter.
It's taken way too long, but we're looking forward to finally getting these songs out. These songs are old at this point, and we have many other cool ideas cooking.
One of the things delaying the process was Marius sharpening up his mixing skills, so we could tackle every aspect of the process ourselves.
Another factor is just that life happens sometimes, and things get tough.
Talk soon -

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.
Their latest single, Architects of the Hollowed, marks a new chapter. Recorded and mixed entirely in-house, with frontman Marius handling the mix, it showcases the band’s evolving DIY ethos and sonic precision. The track confronts humanity’s obsession with power and materialism at the cost of empathy and progress.
Breaking the Gloomhammer dives into mental health with raw honesty, wrapped in crushing melodic death metal hooks. It’s one of the band’s most emotionally direct songs to date.
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.
