New Album "Nocturnals" Announced By Re-Grouped Stillborn

Gothic metal was 'stillborn' in the late 80’s. But some 28 years ago a band left unforgettable trails in the Swedish underground scene with a unique take on the doom genre. Stillborn combined a gloomy and darkened sound with the aesthetics of gothic rock, almost as straight out of an old horror movie.

Now the members have been drawn back together to record a new album in the same spirit as their legendary debut "Necrospirituals" (1989). Ten songs were written for the album, aptly titled "Nocturnals," and it was recorded and mixed at Studio Juicy Halftone in Copenhagen by Henrik Stendahl.

With a refined sound, Stillborn will please the old fans that have been yearning for a new album, as well as garner new ones. In essence, this is Stillborn as we know them; sinister, eerie and with a subtile morbid twist.

The new offering is scheduled to be released on Black Lodge/Sound Pollution this fall and is preceded with the single "Lorelei," which is available today as a new video clip which you can enjoy in the player below.

The band commented: "We thought this spark had burnt out but once again, the sun explodes. A new dawn is rising.”

The band also aims to conduct a tour in connection with the release. Expected further album details soon. Check out the video for "Lorelei" here:
