Norwegian melodic death metal powerhouse Sublime Eyes unleash “Emperor’s Mountain”, the third single taken from the band’s forthcoming full-length, IV: The Serpent’s Coil, due out September 5, 2025, via Wormholedeath.
A thunderous descent into legend, “Emperor’s Mountain” sees Norwegian melodic death metal force Sublime Eyes summon the brutal legacy of a ruler forged in fire and blood. With razor-sharp riffs, cinematic intensity, and lyrics steeped in Carpathian myth, the track pays homage to a feared protector and merciless tyrant — a hero to some, a horror to others.
Epic, unrelenting, and drenched in historical vengeance, “Emperor’s Mountain” is both a war cry and a requiem. Sublime Eyes turn history into metal mythology.
Norwegian melodic death metal juggernaut Sublime Eyes return with ferocious intent, dropping their blistering new single “Pray For Death” — the second track taken from their highly anticipated new album IV: The Serpent’s Coil, due out September 5, 2025, via Wormholedeath.
“Pray for Death” isn’t just about nihilism — it’s about facing existential ruin with clenched fists. It captures the emotional dissonance of modern life: being pulled into the void but still fighting to stand. Sublime Eyes have delivered something that’s not just heavy — it’s hauntingly human.
Formed in Stavanger, Norway, Sublime Eyes have long been at the forefront of the Scandinavian melodic death/thrash movement. Since 2007, they’ve delivered punishing live sets at major festivals such as Bloodstock Open Air and Norway Rock Festival, and shared stages with icons including The Haunted, Entombed, and more.
With a career marked by constant evolution, Sublime Eyes have carved out a distinctive sonic identity: from their self-released debut Dawn of the Defiant (2010) to the epic and intense Corrocean (2019), and their darkly melodic 2023 EP From Light Unto Darkness. Now, IV: The Serpent’s Coil promises to be their most majestic and punishing release to.
From the rainy shores of Stavanger, in the southwest of Norway, Sublime Eyes has relentlessly moved towards bigger stages and a broader audience. Over the years, they have shared the stage with some of the bigger names in metal, and no matter where Sublime Eyes performs, the crowd is always left with sore necks and an adrenaline rush like nothing they’ve experienced before.
Now, the epic and thrashing melodeath onslaught is back with their most majestic release yet! We present the album IV: The Serpent’s Coil, which will be released on 5 September 2025, via Wormholedeath.

IV: The Serpent’s Coil Album teaser:
Less is more? More is more!
More brutality, more melody, more groove, and more energy. This is Norwegian melodic death metal cranked up to eleven! The sound is more epic and powerful than ever, as Sublime Eyes has taken the best elements of their previous releases and injected fresh inspiration into their new album, leaving the metal crowd trembling all the way to their raised horns.
Chugging riffs, relentless drumming, epic soundscapes, blazing guitar solos, tasty bass, and ferocious vocals. These are just a few of the explosive elements that await you on this album, as well as some great guest appearances! If you enjoy bands like Testament, At The Gates, The Black Dahlia Murder, Machine Head, and Insomnium, then this album is for you!
Raise your horns, crank up the volume, and let IV: The Serpent’s Coil take you on a melodic death metal odyssey you won’t forget.
