Aspherium

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.
