German Stoner/Doom duo St. Unholyness have announced their debut album, Through High Holy Haze, will be released on December 25th.
“Written between 2017 and 2025, the eight tracks fold slow, heavy riffing and psychedelic drift into sharper eruptions that nod to progressive and black metal. Christina Earlymorn recorded, produced, mixed and mastered the record at her own studio, keeping guitars and voice front and centre while letting the rhythm section drive the weight of the songs.
The album’s narratives move from religion as an instrument of control to social pressure, resilience and tribute. Heaven’s Harem opens with a psychedelic instrumental that references historical harem structures. The title track questions fear and authority, casting Lucifer as a light-bringer. Dampflok des Todes turns momentum into a theme of falling forward. Black Tooth Brothers salutes Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Alchemist Blues stretches toward the ten-minute mark, threading ideas about Nikola Tesla and frequency from blues jam to blasting intensity. Hate Response is the most openly political cut, focused on anti-trans scapegoating. Loud and Proud works like a chant about standing tall before a final comedown, while St. Unholyness closes the set at the slowest tempo with the most HM-2 forward sound.
St. Unholyness are currently a two-piece on stage, with Earlymorn on guitars and vocals and Mac Carrigan on bass, and they are seeking a drummer to expand the live show.”
