BRYMIR release second single, “Tempetbound” from upcoming album

Finnish melodic death metallers BRYMIR unleash the second track from their upcoming album, “What We Leave Behind”, coming October 2, 2026 via Napalm Records! “Tempestbound” surges forward with speedy riffs and a wuthering message. The new single wraps the overarching theme of the band’s darkest album to date in a cloak of mythology. No matter the belief system, the Gods are all the same—and none of them is worth dying for at the hands of moribund mankind. Constituting war as the death of progress, “Tempestbound” solidifies BRYMIR’s epic plea for humanity.

BRYMIR about “Tempestbound”:

“Speed and insanity! Mankind is supposed to be starbound, yet here we are fighting over the same old stupid stuff. Our progress has been immense, technological marvels created, yet we mostly seem to use these to just destroy each other and ourselves—just faster and more completely. Instead of reaching the stars, instead of being starbound, we remain ‘Tempestbound.’”

Helsinki-based BRYMIR make a strong case for melodic death metal with “What We Leave Behind”, coming October 2, 2026 via Napalm Records! In a darkening world full of existential dread, the Finnish band—singer Viktor Storm Gullichsen, guitarist Joona Björkroth, bassist Jarkko Niemi, and drummer Patrik Fält—takes a stand with their most sinister album yet. Again heavily influenced by their singer’s main job as a movie sound designer, BRYMIR create vast cinematic soundscapes around their sometimes bleak, sometimes hopeful, but always honest messages.

Strongly tied to current societal developments, BRYMIR deliver an equally raw and fantastical album. Their darkest output yet, the band’s fifth album hits especially hard—and leaves absolutely no open questions behind. As introspective as it is outspoken, “What We Leave Behind” is an epic plea for humanity.

BRYMIR about “What We Leave Behind”:

“Since our previous album, the world certainly hasn’t gotten any lighter—and as art reflects life, our fifth album, “What We Leave Behind”, is the darkest creation we’ve made so far. Both musically as well as thematically… ‘What We Leave Behind?’ is the core question explored from many perspectives: from personal hopes, dreams, and fears to societal developments to dark sci-fi and existential despair. Join us on this dark emotional journey, at times violent, at times beautiful, and always honest in baring the soul of what is BRYMIR – no compromise, everything raw and real.”
