Rome’s melodic death‑doom innovators Shores of Null have unleashed “Two Mountains,” the third single from their forthcoming album "Homesick," out October 16th, 2026 via Dusktone. The track follows the previously released tracks “Son of the Tide” and “Bleed to Life,” offering yet another emotional and atmospheric record for fans to cherish.
“‘Two Mountains’ is probably the catchiest song we've ever written, and it has all the ingredients to become one of our live staples in the years to come. Its lyrics are inspired by the Legend of Maja… a story about a mother's love and the unbearable pain of loss, but also about memory, belonging and the invisible bond we carry with the places that shaped us,” adds vocalist Davide Straccione.
The single recounts the ancient Abruzzese myth of Maja and her son Hermes, whose deaths became immortalized in the very mountains of the region, Gran Sasso and Majella, a landscape Straccione grew up with and continues to call home. The song’s soaring melodies and emotional weight reflect that connection, transforming folklore into a powerful modern metal narrative.
