Ocultum announce new album ‘Buena Muerte’
OCULTUM have announced a new album!
Titled Buena Muerte, the upcoming album from the Chilean stoner doom metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2019’s Residue, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via their new home at Heavy Psych Sounds.
The upcoming album was recorded and mixed by Juan Pablo Canolés at Plex Studios in Santiago, Chile, and mastered by Esben Willems at Studio Berserk in Sweden. The artwork was designed by Paweł ‘Miodek’ Mioduchowski.
Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “we are releasing this third album with force and conviction. Buena Muerte is a concatenated anthem that explores death as a central theme, highlighting its benevolence towards a human being who cries out in all ways for its inevitable extinction. It is an experiment in resurgent creativity where a vibe of the 70s, metal and chaos converge, on the dilapidating base of the heavy and crushing doom stoner we sacredly cultivate.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, OCULTUM have released a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Last Weed On Earth. The new song was first premiered by Doomed & Stoned.
Speaking about the new song, the band shares, “Last Weed On Earth is a song where all the riffs and settings tell a story which lands in a fictional but no less possible place especially with the threat of war and nuclear apocalypse constantly looming over humanity. And what if there’s only one marijuana plant left on the planet? Who will be there to smoke it? Humans have sealed their fate but on the borders of space and sea another truth hides. Last Weed On Earth is our heavy journey loaded with acid blues intense riffs that won’t let you think about a tomorrow for this failed humanity.”
