MEFITIS: “In Gloom’s Gorge” Single From California Dark Metal Duo Now Streaming!

MEFITIS’ The Skorian // The Greyleer was created and is delivered in a specific two-part method. The album’s first four movements, comprising The Skorian, were recorded to analog tape during 2021 and 2022 at Emberdusk Studio, and the corresponding four songs of The Greyleer were recorded to analog tape during 2022 and 2023 at Emberdust Studio B, with additional songwriting by Severin (Cameron Wade). Once digitized and mixed by MEFITIS, the album was mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studio (Chthe'ilist, Suffering Hour, Pallbearer) and fitted with a gothic painting by Billy Norrby and additional art by Catarina Putri, Saheefa Mustafa, and Forest Hughes.

This second preview track is called “In Gloom’s Gorge,” which represents the second chapter of this MEFITIS release, The Greyleer. While the first half of the record reaffirms the dark metal past, The Greyleer claws its four appendages in diverging directions towards possible futures. These songs are not as much gothic horror tales, but more expressionistic explorations of the very urges underlying dark metal. A song for one restless, as though lying upon a sphere.
