Rising from decades of silence, THE SOLITUDE bring back the true spirit of classic epic doom metal — slow, heavy, and deeply emotional. The project was originally started over 30 years ago by Janne Parviainen (Ensiferum) and has now been revived together with Gas Lipstick (ex-HIM, Kyyria), Aleksi Parviainen, and Ville Pelkonen. Inspired by the epic weight of Candlemass and the dark power of Black Sabbath, the band honors the genre’s roots while creating a sound that feels personal and sincere.
Their debut album, The Sound of Absent Life (out April 2026 via Reaper Entertainment), was recorded live to analog tape at Finnvox Studios to keep the performance natural and real. The album was produced by the band, mixed by Hiili Hiilesmaa (HIM, Amorphis) and mastered by Mika Jussila (Motörhead, Stratovarius, Nightwish). Instead of chasing digital perfection, THE SOLITUDE focus on honest performances and raw emotion — bringing back the human feeling that much of modern music has lost.
