Swedish doom metaller GRIM COLOSSUS has announced that his new EP “Unhallowed Blasphemies” will be released on November 28th. The work follows the full-length “Descent Into Madness” released in 2024 and it is available for pre-order on Bandcamp.
“Unhallowed Blasphemies” features four songs inspired by H.P Lovecraft stories. As in the previous work, “Unhallowed Blasphemies” has the same dark atmospheres with haunting riffs and dramatic vocals telling tales of horror.
You can have a foretaste of what you might expect from the EP with the single “The Whisperer.” Inspired by “The Whisperer In Darkness,” it is the story of a man who investigates strange, crustacean-like bodies found after a Vermont flood, leading him to an eccentric hermit who has been plagued by an Alien race from the hills near his house.

A dark and dreary sound with a focus on heavy riffs, and a gloomy atmosphere, accompanied by haunting lyrics and vocal style has been the goal of GRIM COLOSSUS, the one-man band hailing from Sweden, on the island of Hönö right outside of Gothenburg.
Inspired by epic and traditional doom metal bands such as Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Trouble, among other great metal acts whose influence can be heard through the music, and was apparent for new fans since the beginning of the debut EP in 2022.
What originally started as a few jumbled musical ideas with no goal in mind, quickly became something with a life of its own, after lighting a spark within.
Though hints of the aforementioned influences can always be heard, GRIM COLOSSUS is growing more and more into its own sound and identity with every new release.
