Respected purveyors of the most cultured, melodic and melancholic doom/death metal, France’s Inborn Suffering have announced a new alliance with Ardua Music. Indeed, a label whose roster is overflowing with riches of the gravest and most majestic of bands. Together, band and label will unveil the first new Inborn Suffering album since 2010, Pale Grey Monochrome. This stunning collection of songs preserves the mournful, reflective soul of Inborn Suffering. However, it somehow reaches new heights of melodic beauty and plunges to new depths of absolute desolation and despair. Set for release on February 7th 2025, Pale Grey Monochrome will capture the hearts of the doomed and the damned, all devotees of the most somber and introspective sounds.
About the band
Inborn Suffering first formed in Paris back in 2002. Over the course of the following eight years, they established themselves as masters of doom, spinning tragic tales across foundations of colossal riffs and ethereal melody. They performed alongside fellow overlords of the doom/death underground like Swallow The Sun, Saturnus and Mourning Beloveth. Moreover, they produced two critically acclaimed albums, Wordless Hope and Regression To Nothingness, before stepping away in 2010. It would be eleven years before the band began to stir again… Obviously, when the flame of creativity was alight once more, the new music began to flow. They recorded Pale Grey Monochrome in 2024. Furthermore, Déhà of Opus Magnum Studio (Wolvennest, Deadspace, Decline Of The I etc) mastered it.
Ardua Music is happy to welcome the rejuvenated Inborn Suffering to their ranks and in February they will not only release the new Pale Grey Monochrome album, but also reissue the two revered early albums, Wordless Hope and Regression To Nothingness. A first taste of Pale Grey Monochrome‘s moribund magnificence can be experienced at the Ardua Music YouTube channel in the form of new single, From Lowering Tides.
