Icelandic/US Black Metal entity MARTRÖÐ – surrounding core members A.P. (SKÁPHE) and H.V. (WORMLUST) – proudly announce their debut album will be released on December 12th. Following up sole previous release, 2016’s lauded “Transmutation of Wounds” EP, the band’s inaugural full-length “Draumsýnir eldsins” (“Dream Visions of the Fire”) blazes through four transcendent, maniacal tracks that revel in organised chaos and infernal surrealism, as swarming Black Metal bludgeon meets avant-Classical and psychotropic noise.

“Draumsýnir eldsins” was written and recorded between 2022 and 2025 at MSK01/02. Simón Da Silva (AVERSIO HUMANITATIS) took care of mixing and mastering at The Empty Hall Studio. The cover artwork was designed by Kristína Þrá.

Tracklist:
01. Sköpunin
02. Likaminn
03. Timinn
04. Daudinn

As an induction into the fevered maelstrom of “Draumsýnir eldsins”, MARTRÖÐ unveil the album’s opening track, “Sköpunin”, as its first and only single. This maniacal piece perfectly captures the record’s essence via ominous, unrelenting and densely-composed avant Black Metal with a hallucinogenic edge.

Check out the song below:

MARTRÖÐ comment: “‘Sköpunin’ speaks from within the noosphere, the dream of all minds entwined. In that shared sleep, worlds are shaped and unmade, and the breath of God becomes an echo in the dark. What is dreamt here does not awaken; it devours the dreamer.”

“Draumsýnir eldsins” will be released on CD, vinyl – including an exclusive DMP variant – and digital on December 12th via Debemur Morti Productions. A special t-shirt design will accompany the launch. Pre-orders are possible via the label’s EU, US, and Bandcamp stores.
