Polish Death Metal/Metalcore Duo GRASP OF SOLITUDE Released Debut EP “Luminara”

GRASP OF SOLITUDE is a Polish band combining death metal with elements of metalcore. Initially conceived as Mateusz’s solo project, it evolved into a duo with vocalist Michał, leading to the creation of the “Luminara” EP.

The material was written primarily by Mateusz, while Michał was responsible for most of the lyrics. Mateusz also recorded the guitars and handled the full production, mixing and mastering of the EP. The cover artwork was created by Hungarian artist Holo Dreamz, who has also worked with Enter the Vortex, Kocytus and Worm Shepherd.

Commenting on the release, the duo explains:

“We initially planned to record a full-length album, but ultimately decided to select the strongest songs and condense the material into an EP. A major influence on its sound was the Squier Bass VI, a six-string instrument combining characteristics of a guitar and bass. Its 30-inch scale allowed us to use E standard tuning an octave below while retaining clarity, giving the riffs their distinctive weight. The opening track was recorded with an eight-string guitar, while ‘Intolerance’ features a standard six-string guitar.“

The “Luminara” EP was released digitally on July 22, 2026 and is available for listening at all major streaming platforms (smart link).
