Genune to release "Infinite Presence"

Romanian atmospheric post-black metal outfit Genune is set to release their third full-length album, Infinite Presence, on May 17 via Consouling Sounds. To be released on black vinyl, cool blue vinyl, CD, and digital formats, this new record marks a profound artistic leap for the band — one born from radiant hope and deep absence.

Formed in 2012, Genune found its true artistic voice with the release of Cern Sol in 2018. Their sound defies simple categorization, blending the intensity of post-black metal with elements drawn from shoe-gaze, electronica, Americana, and Anatolian rock. The result is a dynamic and emotive musical tapestry, where moments of searing intensity meet calm introspection.

Lyrically, Genune explores the themes of time, consciousness, identity, and existence through a modernist poetic lens. Their second album, Inert & Unerring (2021), delved deeper into the complexities of identity, setting the stage for the introspective journey that Infinite Presence now offers.

Infinite Presence was written between summer 2023 and summer 2024, conceived as both a reflection on the fleeting nature of life and a celebration of memory and gratitude. It’s an album about remembrance — and the presence that remains in absence.
