Projections, the stunning new full-length from UK doom metal titans GODTHRYMM, is currently streaming in its entirety. The premiere comes on the eve of its official release, Friday May 29th via Profound Lore Records.

Projections completes GODTHRYMM’s Visions Trilogy which began with their 2020 debut, Reflections, followed by 2023’s Distortions full-length.

“Where Projections shines brightest is in the rare combination of scope and efficiency,” writes New Noise of the release. “Epic doom metal isn’t known for its brevity, but GODTHRYMM understand how to build songs with constant momentum and nary a wasted measure.” Decibel concurs, “For a genre like doom, especially leaning into gothic sensibilities, GODTHRYMM sounds soulful and ever comfortable in their evolutionary steps while triumphantly finalizing their trilogy.” PopMatters lauds a band “capturing a form of UK doom that few bands still articulate with such conviction.” Adds The Razor’s Edge, “GODTHRYMM have produced another fantastic album and probably their finest work to date. Though it very much channels the UK doom of the early ‘90s, there is far more going on throughout this album with multiple tones and moods… recommended.”

Since the release of Reflections, GODTHRYMM has been recognized as the new emerging band from the UK to bring back the glorious aura of early-mid ‘90s UK doom metal, most notably formulated by the Paceville Three (My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Anathema).

Considering GODTHRYMM was formed and is helmed by UK doom metal veteran Hamish Glencross (formerly of My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, and Solstice) and features doom metal drummer extraordinaire Shaun Taylor-Steels (formerly of My Dying Bride, Anathema, and Solstice), that classic UK doom metal DNA has already been implemented within the sonic fabric of GODTHRYMM.

Projections builds upon the cornerstones of Distortions. Now with an expanded lineup which includes keyboardist and co-vocalist Catherine Glencross, bassist Bob Crolla, and new second guitarist Kris McLaughin, Projections is GODTHRYMM’s most layered, varied, and complex release yet, all while still upholding the colossal emotionally charged heavy doom backbone that has defined the core of the band’s sound. Projections is also the band’s most aggressive album to date.

Projections includes guest vocals from original English Dogs vocalist Adie Bailey and Xentrix vocalist Jay Walsh on “Trenches Deep.” Additionally, now former My Dying Bride vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe appears on “Endure My Skin,” reuniting once again with his former My Dying Bride bandmates Glencross and Steels. This time the iconic vocalist takes center stage for the bulk of the track, whereas on Distortions, Stainthorpe provided more of a spoken word segment on the track “Follow Me”.

Projections was recorded at various stages throughout the last year at different studios with Andy Hawkins and Glencross at the helm and features the gorgeous cover art of Mitchell Nolte.

Projections will be released on CD, LP, and digital formats. Find all preorders HERE.

“For a genre like doom, especially leaning into gothic sensibilities, GODTHRYMM sounds soulful and ever comfortable in their evolutionary steps while triumphantly finalizing their trilogy.” – Decibel Magazine

“Where Projections shines brightest is in the rare combination of scope and efficiency. Epic doom metal isn’t known for its brevity, but GODTHRYMM understands how to build songs with constant momentum and nary a wasted measure. I love the idea of records being connected…  it often requires an exceptional level of introspection and self-criticism that results in bands only growing stronger by figuring out what they still love or would like to augment as they grow. It never hurts when a metal album carries this much emotional heft.” – New Noise Magazine

“The band unmistakably breathes the spirit of ‘90s death-doom, yet succeeds admirably in transporting it into the modern era—authentically and stamped with their own unique identity. This is driven primarily by a blend of monumental heaviness, melodic tragedy, and emotional depth that settles over every track like a leaden fog. Projections is exactly what fans of classic British doom metal could wish for: a heavy, sorrowful, and majestic work, brimming with intense riffs and gloom.” – Metal.de

“… a well-rounded record, with a diverse nature that caters to fans of immediate impact as well as those that prefer their music to have longevity and depth. Well-written, with both capable hooks and shrouded substance… another firm winner for GODTHRYMM.” – Wonderbox Metal

“Projections may be GODTHRYMM’s best work yet. The variety of this album is fresh… Its economical 46 minutes leaves you wanting more. GODTHRYMM sounds like no one else, either in tone, production, writing, or execution. They are easily one of the best bands plying the doom trade today, and they keep pushing in new directions. Projections is a deep, fulfilling album offering a pristine…” – Metal Epidemic

“GODTHRYMM’s most layered, varied, and complex release yet, all while still upholding the colossal emotionally charged heavy doom backbone that has defined the core of the band’s sound. Projections is also the band’s most aggressive album to date.” – Dead Rhetoric

“…another fantastic album and probably their finest work to date. Though it very much channels the UK doom of the early ‘90s, there is far more going on throughout this album with multiple tones and moods… recommended.” – The Razor’s Edge

“Anyone who grew up with the early works of Paradise Lost, Anathema, or My Dying Bride will discover much here that feels familiar. At the same time, Projections possesses enough personality of its own not to be overshadowed by its influences. For doom fans, this album definitely ranks among the stronger releases of the year.” – Metalunderground.at

“…a truly fine album that not only evokes memories of the aforementioned heyday of British doom but also transports the listener directly into the coming Autumn.” – Powermetal.de
