We finished the recordings for our 5th full-length album!!! We cut 6 tracks of raw, nihilistic Death Doom Metal. The album was recorded in both BLASTBEAT PRODUCTIONS studio (where we recorded the last 2 albums), as well as 3RD A STUDIO (where “Stream of Misery” and “Withered Shades” where recorded).
Every trademark we ever had in our sound is there, and yet the album has a quite different feel than the last one!
Mixing and mastering will be done during march/april.
A release date is yet to be fixed, but we hope to put the album out in autumn. Stay tuned for more info!

OPHIS confirmed for Barther Metal Open Air – Corona Special 2020
Yes, we will play a live show during COVID-19. In front of an actually real audience.
We are confirmed to co-headline the CORONA SPECIAL 2020 version of BARTHER OPEN AIR on August 15!
The great promoters of Kältetod Legion managed to get an official confirmation to do the festival with an actual audience! We are proud to be part of that and happy to proclaim that the festival is sold out!!!!
We strongly ask everyone attending to stick to the local distance- and maskwearing rules! Sure, it will be a weird show that way, but it will still be awesome. Take care of your responsibility for your health and the health of others. Plus, we don’t want the feds to terminate the show just because some fuckhead assholes can’t behave, ok?
Charity in times of COVID-19
As you all know, COVID-19 is heavily damaging the worldwide culture scene, threatening artists, venues and promoters alike, sometimes to the point of going bankrupt. So for that reason, we decided to donate the entire profit we make on our Bandcamp-shop UNTIL THE CONTACT-BAN IN GERMANY IS OFFICIALLY OVER to the metal-venues in our hometown Hamburg. So buy like crazy and support the underground!
