Finland’s riff-worshipping, cosmos-obsessed doom trio, DÖ, releases the lyric video for their latest track, Ode to the Dark Matter. This powerful new song is taken from their highly anticipated upcoming album Unversum, due out on September 18th, 2024, via Lay Bare Recordings in vinyl format and across various digital platforms.
For the past decade, DÖ has steadily gathered international recognition with their dark, astral-infused sound, which they refer to as “döömer.” This distinctive Northern blend combines elements of stoner, doom, sludge, and psychedelia, with subtle nods to death and black metal, creating a unique sonic experience. Their growing discography includes four acclaimed EPs and two albums, all of which have been praised by the global heavy music press, including the prestigious Doom Charts.
DÖ has built a reputation for their loud, high-energy live performances, spearheaded by their infamous maniacal drummer. They have performed at notable festivals like Soulcrusher (Netherlands), Nummirock (Finland), and Desert Hel (Finland), and have shared stages with iconic acts such as Church of Misery.
The new track was created during the recording sessions for Unversum, as the band explains, “Ode to the Dark Matter was the last song we made for the album. It was actually born during the recording sessions, and it replaced another track that was originally planned for the album. The lyrics serve as both a tribute to the fascinating dark matter and to our friend who produced and recorded the album, whose nickname is Ode.”
