Italian Atmospheric Black Doom Metal Duo URLUK Announce New Album!

Italy’s URLUK will release their highly anticipated second full-length album, “Memories in Fade”, on April 10, 2026, via Pest Records. Following the atmospheric and introspective journey of their previous works, this new record marks a clear evolution in the band’s sound, embracing a more sinuous and emotionally driven approach.

“Memories in Fade” is now available for pre-orders here: https://pestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/urluk-memories-in-fade

“Memories in Fade” expands the band’s black-doom foundation with layers of ’90s alternative rock, ambient textures and neo-folk influences, creating a complex yet cohesive sonic narrative. Unlike conventional song structures, the album seeks a storytelling quality, where each track contributes to a broader, immersive experience while remaining grounded in the project’s artistic identity.

Throughout the album, clean vocals and intense screaming alternate, complementing a diverse palette of riffs that shift from melancholic and brooding to sharp and dynamic. The mood is consistently dark and enveloping, reflecting both personal introspection and the uncertainties of contemporary life. The result is a record that feels cinematic in scope, balancing heaviness and subtlety in equal measure.

Recorded with meticulous attention to atmosphere and texture, “Memories in Fade” represents URLUK’s ongoing exploration of emotional depth within extreme metal. The band continues to intertwine local identity, narrative sensibility, and musical experimentation, offering listeners a journey that is both intimate and expansive.
