FULL ALBUM PREMIERE
Maliciouz – Sympathypnotic Intercession
The release date for the new Maliciouz album you ask… It is today! Or tomorrow, depending on where you live... And we are honored to present to you the FULL ALBUM PREMIERE for Sympathypnotic Intercession by one man monastic doom magician Maliciouz, right here, right now! We brought you the premiere for the Catharticism single and we must have done something right to also be able to bring you the FULL ALBUM as well… Thank you maestro and Good Boy PR for the opportunity once again!
Maliciouz crafts a slow-burning journey on Sympathypnotic Intercession. From the dust-choked expanse of Joshua Tree, California, where sound feels carved from heat, weight, and silence, the eight tracks might feel like a cortege at one or more points. But it will constantly feel wholesome and healing. Yes, this release unfolds like a single almost one hour and ten minutes long, descending narrative of immersive, monolithic and monastic doom, where guitars sink into sludge-thick distortion and the drone-like resonance bends time itself…
After 39 has commenced the procession, Pendulous opens like a heavy breath before collapse, while A Thousand Deaths drags deeper into crushing, ritual repetition that feels almost geological in its patience. Intercession introduces a faint, melancholic fracture of light through all the opressive haze, and Agony & Ivory tightens the tension with abrasive contrast and buried, ghostlike melody, floating through a hallway not entered for ages. At the center, Catharticism becomes a release point, where hypnotic waves of distortion feel cleansing despite their weight, as if pressure is entirely transformative and requires no escape. Torn unravels the structure into fractured, liminal space, and Mountain Rising Falling closes the passage with vast, echoing descent and ascent folding into one another, like an M C Escher labyrinth.
And as we might have stated before, throughout the album, the sound remains immersive, oppressive, and strangely restorative, like a slow ritual of emotional release through weight and repetition… Press play now on Maliciouz and all it's raw, unpretentious doom. Let it engulf 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.
