Depressive suicidal black metal act Suicide Wraith has just released their third album, Lifelong Death Wish, on November 1st. This is their first full-length release since 2019’s An Eternal Wait for a Joy That Never Comes.
The album spans twelve tracks, clocking in at just over an hour. Lifelong Death Wish weaves together elements of black metal, death metal, epic doom metal, and touches of gothic rock, creating a soundscape that follows a journey through life’s darker themes.
Frontman Wraith shares: “For this album, I wanted to write songs that could be described as black metal, death metal, or doom metal—or even a blend of all three. There’s the dissonant tremolo picking of black metal, the rhythmic intensity of death metal, and the atmosphere of epic doom. You’ll find pianos and synths here and there, multiple vocal styles, and even a few Iron Maiden-inspired guitar harmonies… just not on every track.”
