South African symphonic doom and death metal project, Seance Room, officially releases its long-awaited self-titled debut album today, 31 October 2025. Fans can immerse themselves in the album’s dark, meticulously crafted soundscapes, beginning with the single 'One Last Time'. now streaming on the official YouTube channel.

Recorded over the past year, the debut spans twelve tracks, with select editions featuring the alternative version of 'Haunting the Valley.' The album highlights the dynamic interplay between Selene Albecinske’s ethereal, haunting female vocals and Dwayne Coetzee’s commanding male presence, creating a sound both intense and immersive.
