Sweden’s AGRIMONIA will release their fifth full-length, “Of the Shadows”, on December 11, 2026 through De:Nihil Records, marking a major new chapter more than eight years after the acclaimed “Awaken”.

Formed in Gothenburg in 2005, the band have spent two decades refining a distinctive language born from sludge and crust, gradually opening toward post-metal, atmospheric textures and hints of death and black metal. Their new album gathers these strands into an exceptionally cohesive whole, shaped by a prevailing atmosphere of melancholy and bitterness, with occasional folk-inflected details emerging from its darker contours.

Long-form compositions unfold patiently, allowing moments of beauty to coexist with sharper, more abrasive passages. Warm, organic production gives every layer room to breathe, while carefully developed arrangements bring greater depth and occasional progressive turns to the writing. The ambition lies in the detail: “Of the Shadows” rewards repeated listens with subtle shifts, secondary melodies and ideas that gradually reveal themselves beneath the surface.

Across their previous releases, AGRIMONIA have progressively expanded the vocabulary established on their early records, moving from the raw foundations of sludge and crust toward a broader, more atmospheric form of heavy music.

Their work has appeared through labels including Southern Lord and Profane Existence, while members have also contributed to MARTYRDÖD, MIASMAL, AT THE GATES, CONTORTURE and SWORDWIELDER.

Now “Of the Shadows” picks up the thread left by “Awaken” and turns it toward the present, offering a soundtrack for an increasingly uncertain time while occasionally lifting its gaze toward the skies. Rich in contrasts, carefully considered arrangements and melodies that linger long after the music has stopped, the album brings together the different stages of AGRIMONIA‘s evolution in a remarkably coherent form.
