Single Premiere
Maliciouz - Catharticism
Maliciouz will be releasing his new album Sympathypnotic Intercession on May 22nd. But we're honored to present to you now the first single for that album called: Catharticism! There's poetry at work here. From Joshua Tree, one-man-doom-magician Maliciouz crafts a hypnotic, molasses-heavy journey where crushing riffs and melancholic drone stretch time itself. The glacial doom feels less somber than earlier work but still unfolds in slow, immersive waves with a hallowed touch. Getting lost in the track allows the listener to release pent-up, excessive emotions, leading to emotional, spiritual, or intellectual relief and a balanced state. It’s raw, unpretentious doom that engulfs you completely... Easy to enter, but be warned, you might lose all your sorrows, angers and frustration. You might come out at the other end, slightly healed...
PR Wire:
Maliciouz
Low, slow, and loud doom from the Mojave Desert
New album “SympathypnoticIntercession” out May 22nd, 2026
Genres: Funeral doom, sludge, instrumental
After crushing 2025 with two albums “SARBERUS” and “TORTOISE”, one-man doom dealer Maliciouz returns with more oppressively heavy, psychedelic riffs on “Sympathypnotic Intercession”. A statement on grief, pain, and healing, the new album is personal and poignant.
The music of Maliciouz is described as “tectonic shifting of the earth’s crust”, “the slow, grinding decay of a planet across eons”, “almighty riffs and a dark atmosphere”, “will vibrate your skull off of your spine”,“wrapped in hypnotic, suffocating atmospheres”, “a wall of crushing weight”, “heavy as fuck”, “the riffs are gargantuan, lumbering, prehistoric behemoths”, “soaked in desert heat”, “state of the art low tempo metal”.
About the album:
What the holy blazes does Sympathypnotic mean?! A hypnotic piece of music or performance could be sympathetic if it evokes deep emotions or resonates with someone’s inner state. For example: “The hypnotic melody felt sympathetic to my grief—it lulled me into a calm where I could finally cry.” And what about the Intercession part? Inter - to place into a grave or tomb Cession - the formal giving up of rights The specific way I’m using it here is “lay down your right to heal yourself and let the music do this for you”. I fully believe in the power of heavy music to heal. My soul resonates with low, slow, and loud. Heavy music relieves heaviness. On this premise... Sympathypnotic Intercession is a collection of songs regarding life’s troubles; but with the hope of bringing relief and healing for those needing this.
