Riff-worshipping, cosmos-obsessed trio DÖ release their highly anticipated third LP, Unversum, today via Lay Bare Recordings. This marks the band's seventh release, following two albums and four EPs that have earned them recognition from global music media, including praise from Doom Charts.

DÖ’s unique sound, dubbed “döömer,” combines elements of stoner, doom, sludge, and psychedelia, with subtle hints of death and black metal. With Unversum, the trio brings a powerful new dimension to their sonic journey, showcasing an evolution in their riff-heavy, cosmic craft. "This album represents years of work, experimentation, and collective growth,” the band says. “The songs are more versatile and nuanced than anything we've done before."

Since forming a decade ago, DÖ has carved out a niche in the heavy music scene with their signature dark, astral energy. Known for their loud and energetic live shows, DÖ has performed at renowned festivals such as Soulcrusher (Netherlands), Nummirock (Finland), and Desert Hel (Finland). Their fanbase continues to expand globally, having shared stages with legends like, Church of Misery.

Unversum, the band's second release with guitarist Teröid, is a testament to their artistic evolution. "When Teröid joined the band, his guitar work brought in a new dynamic,” the band explains. “The layers and effects he created sound almost like we used keyboards, but it’s all guitar, bass, and drums. This is a true old-school production with modern depth."

The album blends styles and genres, forming a cohesive experience built for vinyl, where every track flows into the next. Tracks like 'Wasted Life Form' and 'Ode to the Dark Matter' exemplify the diversity and complexity of their new material. Lyrically, the album embraces the expansive cosmos and explores deep existential themes, reflecting the band’s philosophy that “there is no I in Unversum."
