TodoMal share lead single 'Point of Coalescence' from upcoming album • GRIMM Gent

TODOMAL, the Anglo-Spanish atmospheric doom metal project, will release their third album, Graveyards of Joy, through Season of Mist. The record arrives as the closing chapter of a trilogy that began with Ultracrepidarian (2021) and deepened with A Greater Good (2023), nine tracks of slow-burning, widescreen doom written in solitude following personal tragedy.

To mark the announcement, the band release ‘Point of Coalescence’ as the album’s lead single, accompanied by an official music video. The track was chosen as the entry point to Graveyards of Joy for a reason: it is dense, dark and uncompromising, dealing in shame, violence and the slow erosion of consciousness, with surreal and cosmic horror imagery that gives the song an unsettling, almost theatrical edge.

Graveyards of Joy channels grief, anger and hard-won hope through a sound rooted in the slow-burning weight of classic doom and dramatic rock, while leaving considerable space for melody and atmosphere to do their work. Vast Hammond-driven passages give way to desolate folk; strings with a Morricone-like openness sit alongside heavy, anchoring riffs. The album draws on a wide range of reference points, from the orchestral sweep of Vangelis and the Hammond warmth of Deep Purple to the dramatic sensibility of Tindersticks and Nick Cave, without losing the solemnity that defines the band’s identity. It is a DIY record, produced with a modern, alternative edge rather than nostalgic reconstruction.

Graveyards of Joy is out July 3rd via Season of Mist.

TodoMal came to life in 2020, conceived by Anglo-Spanish musician and composer Christopher B. Wildman and musician, composer and producer Javier Fernández Milla: two veteran multi-instrumentalists of the Spanish underground scene whose careers span a wide range of projects and styles. A product of pure serendipity, TodoMal represents a deeply personal fusion of the solemnity of traditional doom metal and the expansiveness of space rock, interwoven with nuances of ecclesiastical music, classic hard rock and cinematic soundscapes.

Their debut album, Ultracrepidarian (2021), evokes the placid yet desolate moorlands of their base in northern Alcarria and the region of Matarraña (Teruel), two emblematic landscapes of Spain’s so-called “emptied lands.” With A Greater Good (2023), the duo crafted a collection of what they describe as “dark songs,” evolving into a complex, dense and unclassifiable album that appeared on several year-end lists and sold through its initial pressing. Fuelled by this momentum, they expanded into a five-piece live ensemble, joining forces with Javier Félez (guitar; Teitanblood, Graveyard, Balmog), Javier “Bud” Martínez (drums; Dejadeath, Jade, Ktulu) and Cecilia Tallo (keyboards/vocals; Maud the Moth).

Graveyards of Joy is the third album and the closing chapter of a trilogy. Written in solitude following personal tragedy, it channels grief, anger and hard-won hope into nine tracks of slow-burning, widescreen doom. The music breathes: vast Hammond-driven passages give way to desolate folk, Morricone-like strings open onto dusty cinematic plains, and heavy riffs anchor songs that never lose sight of melody. A DIY record of striking emotional depth and modern, alternative edge.
