Formed in early 2019, this Finnish Symphonic Doom Metal band INFIRMUM has approached the genre in a unique and complex way.
With a sound that explores aspects of classical music combined with the traditional weight and melancholy of Doom, they released their debut album ‘Walls of Sorrow’ in 2020, followed by the EP ‘The Great Unknown’ in 2022.
In January 2023, they released the single ‘Sleep of Reason’, which featured a music video.
With the departure of vocalist Anna Rose in 2023, Brazilian singer Sabine Blodwin joined the band, bringing a new perspective from a different culture.

INFIRMUM has released their new single ‘Burn’ as a preview of their upcoming album ‘From The Depths I Cried’ expected by the end of the year.
Sabine:
“‘Burn’ is about everything that is controversial and burns inside the human soul, what we feel in secret, what people try to hide or extinguish to fit into society. In ‘Burn’, while the male part exposes these feelings and unique visions of the world around, the female part represents the embracing of all these demons, the darkness as part of the human being, and this dark flame grows until it finally becomes one with the individual.”
Timo:
“‘Burn’ was fun to compose. Wanted to compose a bit faster song and I was in right mood so this turned out to be really good. It is always fantastic to notice how song evolves after I have sent just my guitar tracks and everyone begin to create their parts. Sometimes I delete some guitar leads so other instruments have more space. I am very happy with the results!”
Eliel:
“‘Burn’ was me trying to be more brutal than on other songs, very death metal lyrics.”
Hanna-Leena:
“When I first started to work on the drum parts for ‘Burn’, the demo had only Timo’s guitar tracks. But I could immediately hear that this song will be more aggressive and it needs to have a sense of danger. That’s what I aimed for with my drumming: danger alerting accents, tickling our primitive lizard brain with a sense of something bad looming around the corner, short machine gun like bursts of rhythm in kick drums etc. But also I wanted to keep our signature ‘beauty and the beast’ dynamic present in the song, so I made some parts to have a more ‘flowy’ feel for a nice contrast.”
INFIRMUM’s music today can be described as profound and conflicted, exploring the darkest sides of human emotions, diving into the depths of madness, pain, sickness, and death, while still finding brief moments of hope, offering an atmospheric journey through the darkest corners of the human soul.
Combining beauty and ferocity, their compositions are rich in textures and nuances with strong, reflective lyrics.
