Created to strengthen artistic connections between bands from the Argonauta roster, the Digital Split Collaborations series was conceived as a platform for creative exchange, pairing artists from different countries and musical backgrounds in a series of exclusive digital only releases celebrating collaboration, experimentation and underground unity.

For this second installment, EpicDown and Bell Of Mimir converge in a release that seamlessly blends crushing heaviness, immersive atmospheres and emotionally charged songwriting, showcasing two distinct yet complementary visions of contemporary doom oriented music.

Emerging from Leipzig, Germany, EpicDown was founded in 2021 by Mitzschi on guitars and bass and Fabian on drums and vocals during the uncertainty and isolation of the pandemic years. Conceived as a sonic response to a world shaped by destruction, social collapse and existential anxiety, the band developed a sound rooted in massive downtempo grooves, towering riff structures and melancholic vocal textures. Inspired by seminal acts such as Sleep, Earth, Melvins and Spirit Caravan, EpicDown first introduced its sound through the digital EPs Equinox Pt.1 and Equinox Pt.2 before joining the Argonauta Records roster with the release of Days Of Oblivion in 2024.

Representing the Finnish side of the collaboration, Bell Of Mimir brings a deeply atmospheric and emotionally resonant approach inspired by classic doom traditions and enriched by melodic sensibility and compositional depth. Founded in early 2021 by guitarist Karhu, the band was born from a long cultivated desire to create heavy music centered around expansive chord structures, evocative melodies and the influence of classical music studies. What initially started as a personal compositional experiment gradually evolved into a complete band with the addition of Tuohino, Marde, Nordlund and vocalist Korvenmaa, ultimately leading to the release of their acclaimed debut album Nocturne via Argonauta Records in 2025.

This collaboration fully embodies the spirit behind the Digital Split series: fostering artistic freedom, encouraging new creative interactions and strengthening the bond between artists within the global Argonauta Records family.
