Following the success of their “Nimue” EP and 2024 appearance at Fortress Festival, the quartet’s first full-length effort marks a shift in perspective. Moving away from the purely mythological themes of their earlier work, the new record explores the human connection to the land, specifically the tension between our species and the natural world, and the concept of death as a return to the earth rather than a finality.
The band will showcase the new album live at their album launch show on Saturday, March 7th, at The Voodoo in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Hailing from Northern Ireland and consisting of four experienced musicians from the Irish metal scene, Domhain is a quartet that blends an emotional mix of post-black metal, blackgaze, and atmospheric black metal, featuring distinctive vocal harmonies and cello. Their debut EP, the three-song EP “Nimue” (October 2023), showcased their long-form songs filled with myths and remembrances, featured guest cello by Jo Quail and was recorded at Foel Studio with Chris Fielding (Conan, Primordial).
Following their debut, they released the split EP, “Of Pine and Oak” (May 2025), with labelmates Ephemeral, which the band described as “an ode to nature”.
Domhain’s powerful live show has garnered significant attention, notably at Fortress Festival 2024, where Kerrang! praised their set as “something bracingly original about their specific black metal blend: a sound that you can drift off into even in a live setting” and that “they already have the material to become giants of the genre”.
