The first Single from the second full-length studio album, "The Nether Earth", by Israeli Doom Metal project.
The song describes the grieving process of a man who lost his significant other, going from the suffering of watching her dying to missing her love and warm touch, and all the way into the urge to commemorate her.
Like the changing in the man's phases of grief, the song moves between sounds of clean, soothing guitars and heavy distortion, and Symphonic elements that give the song a dramatic feel.

The second Single from the second full-length studio album, "The Nether Earth", by Israeli Doom Metal project.
"Pieces" takes the listener on a journey of suffering, dying and making peace with yourself and the life you lived, just as you're having your last moments in this world.
The song is a five minutes Doom Metal ballad that grows angry further and further. "Pieces" is the only song from the upcoming album that hosts a female vocalist — the great Reut Paz Natovich (Hellscore choir), who adds her angelic and dramatic voice to the mixture of emotions in the dying journey.

The third Single from the second full-length studio album, "The Nether Earth", by Israeli Doom Metal project. 
"Defiled Embrace" song, that was actually the inspiration to the band's name, is a sad, depressive text of a person, mentally still a child, who constantly needs the love, care, and warmth of a mother figure, and yet wishes to be independent because his neediness harms him.
This melodic song brings sweeping melodies and harmonies to an already full table of angry growls and depressed whispers.

1. Defiled Embrace 07:24
 

The second full-length studio album by Israeli Doom Metal project.
Following the promising debut album "Whispers Of The Forest", "The Nether Earth" is fifty-four minutes Doom Death Metal creation, with its roots deep into the world of sadness and gloom.
The album speaks of the sadness and sorrow a person endures in life, such as love, loss, the dying and mourning of loved ones, and the wish to cause harm in turn. While so, the album's artwork and theme song describes the darkest side of the world we live in - a world full of suffering, a place barely suitable to live in for those, who are emotional, caring, and loving.
"The Nether Earth" brings a modern vibe and sound of Doom Metal, deeply influenced by bands such as Swallow The Sun, Clouds, Trees of Eternity, and The Sins Of Thy Beloved.

The first single from the third full-length studio album, "Soul Of A Swan", by Israeli Doom Metal project.
The song explores a dependent and destructive relationship, in which the dependent partner longs to die in the arms of their loved one. It draws a haunting comparison between such an embrace and the suffocating grasp of the ocean, reflected in the music itself, which begins and ends with the sound of waves.
This single features Israeli vocalist Efrat Lavie, whose soft yet dramatic performance adds a powerful emotional depth to the track.

The third single from the third full-length studio album by Israeli Doom Metal project.
"The Touch of Rain" is a deeply personal journey through isolation, abuse, and the search for freedom.
Blending poetic imagery with raw emotion, the song explores how pain can become both a prison and a source of resilience. The rain — something long withheld — symbolizes truth, vulnerability, and ultimately redemption. As the narrator transforms suffering into poetry, the pen becomes a weapon against silence, proving that even the deepest wounds can be reshaped into art.
This is a song about surviving, confronting the past, and finding atonement through honest expression.

The third full-length studio album by Israeli Doom Metal project.
"Soul Of A Swan" is a slow elegy for love and what remains after it fades. On their third album, Defiled Embrace blend Melodic Doom/Death Metal with fragile beauty, letting sorrowful melodies drift through crushing weight. Deep growls and anguished screams emerge like confessions, carrying themes of loss, devotion, and emotional ruin.
This is music that lingers — heavy, tender, and unafraid to ache. For listeners drawn to the melancholic depths of Swallow The Sun, the mournful elegance of Clouds, and the dreamlike sorrow of Alcest, "Soul Of A Swan" offers a quiet descent into grief and memory.
