Fimir unveil new single and video 'Old Master' • GRIMM Gent

Finnish doomsters FIMIR return with “Old Master”, a brand-new single accompanied by an official music video, taken from their upcoming album Cosmic Heavy Doom, due November 27, 2026 via Argonauta Records on CD and digital formats.

Following the release of “Pain of the World”, FIMIR unveil another piece of their forthcoming sonic descent into occult darkness and cosmic dread. While the first single confronted human suffering against the vast indifference of the universe, “Old Master” turns its attention to a different kind of threat: humanity’s growing dependence on technology and the erosion of personal autonomy in an increasingly digital world.

“Old Master” also features Christoffer Clavebring of the band Acolytes of Moros, who appears in the accompanying music video.

The band explains the concept behind the new single:

“We have traded our souls for algorithms and our autonomy for the glow of the screen. To oppose this development, we wrote the song ‘Old Master’, which is the second single from our upcoming album Cosmic Heavy Doom. ‘Old Master’ is the sound of the breaking chains, a defiant reclamation of humanity against the tyranny and greed and the digital rot that tries to own our minds. It is time to remember the strength of the hands that built the world before we let them be shackled by it.”

With this new track, FIMIR expand the thematic scope of Cosmic Heavy Doom, channeling contemporary anxieties into a dark and uncompromising vision. The album explores the weight of a crumbling reality through a monolithic doom metal soundscape steeped in occult dread, existential unease and cosmic horror.

As the band puts it:

“Prepare to descend into the abyss. With the second album Cosmic Heavy Doom, Fimir rips the veil of our crumbling reality, channelling the suffocating weight of global suffering into a monolithic soundscape of occult dread. This is not merely an album; it is a sonic omen, a grim prophecy of the dark ages that await us all. Witness the judgement, delivered by the otherworldly force of our long-time partner-in-doom, Argonauta Records!”

Spanning seven tracks and 43 minutes, Cosmic Heavy Doom moves from the brief opening invocation of “Necronaut” through the crushing weight of “Pain of the World” and “Old Master”, before descending into the expansive, 15-minute “Snakepipe Hollow”. The journey culminates with “The Eternal Cosmic Judgement And the Collapse of Stars”, closing the album on a vision of cosmic devastation.

For fans of Candlemass, Trouble, Saint Vitus, Type O Negative, Tiamat and Cathedral, FIMIR deliver a dark convergence of classic doom heaviness, occult atmospheres and Lovecraftian cosmic horror.
