Erdve Announce Crushing New Album 'Epigrama'

Since emerging from Lithuania in 2016, Erdve have experimented with heavy music’s imposing framework. The band’s debut established a hard and sludgy foundation, while their follow-up chiseled away with dramatic intensity. Now, they are pushing their crushing experimental vision even further on their upcoming third album.

Today, Erdve are announcing Epigrama. Following a period of reflection and re-calibration, the band are cracking open a new chapter that’s defined by a refined approach to composition and philosophical backbone. Within eight tightly bound songs, the album examines grief, guilt and stagnation not as fleeting emotions but structural forces. As memories and regret amass, personal foundations erode.

Epigrama comes out May 29, 2026 on Season of Mist  

Erdve’s full discography is available now on Season of Mist.

Erdve have earned a reputation for unconventional experiments. The band have performed in Vilnius’ St. John’s Church and the historic Lukiškės Prison. Metal Injection hailed their debut Vaitojimas as an ”uncompromising patchwork of hardcore punk and sludge metal”. In reviewing follow-up Savigaila, Nine Circles marveled at how “all that harshness that is at once apparent settles out and mellows into something that is quite beautiful and begs repeated listens”.    

Now, with the announcement of Epigrama, Erdve are refining their hardened sludge experiment into the band’s most conceptually focused and structurally deliberate album.
