Aesthetic Death will release the vinyl edition of “Adrift”, the latest album by US funeral doom metal band SUTRATMA, on May 15, 2026.

Originally issued on CD in late 2025, “Adrift” now receives its long-awaited LP version, offering a fully realized physical counterpart to the band’s nautical-themed, melodic funeral doom opus. The album expands on SUTRATMA’s established sound, combining crushing weight and slow-burning atmospheres with a more pronounced sense of melody and dynamic depth.

Marking the band’s fifth full-length, “Adrift” also represents a period of transition and renewal within SUTRATMA’s ranks. The record introduces new members while refining the group’s compositional approach, particularly in its vocal arrangements and textural layering.

The band comments:

“‘Adrift’ is the 5th Sutratma album, and whilst somewhat of a transitional album for the band, everything with the album turned out remarkably well. Founding member Adi and longtime drummer Kevin Torres welcomed new members Danial Larios to take over growl vocals and second guitar, along with Dave Sanders for bass duties. On this record we started to incorporate more elements of clean singing to blend with the low growls we’ve used since our beginnings. With a stable line up and newly constructed studio, we got to writing and self recording in 2024 and 2025, with everyone contributing to both the music and lyrics. There was more attention on the vocal arrangements, with those elegant clean passages finding their way easily into songs, weaving between the heavy melodies, and dirge riffs. Adrift became a serene funeral doom album of texture and ethereal light – forming an album we hadn’t anticipated, but are very proud of.”

With its layered interplay between ethereal passages and monolithic heaviness, “Adrift” stands as a distinctive entry in the contemporary funeral doom landscape, balancing solemn intensity with an unexpected sense of openness and light.

The vinyl release via Aesthetic Death offers a renewed opportunity to experience the album in its most immersive and fitting format.
