Wyrmhaven, the Tucson‑based melodic death‑metal outfit, has issued its debut full-length, Seasons of Gloom, independently on May 29, 2026. Band members Travis, Stephen, and Nick sat down for an interview to discuss the record and the circumstances that shaped it. The album emerged from a time the band describes as one of notable loss and perseverance; those experiences informed a collection of songs that the group says balance dark, aggressive textures with more exposed, vulnerable passages.

Across conversations with the trio, the record’s sound is framed as both a nod to the aggressive energy of early metalcore and a deliberate step further into melodic death metal territory. The band positioned Seasons of Gloom as an attempt to marry the intensities of those influences with songwriting that allows for lyrical and musical moments of openness. They describe the resulting record as one that retains a heavy, bloodied edge while permitting melodic lines and arrangements to emerge amid the weight.
Production duties were shared between the band and Ryan Bram, who also took on engineering responsibilities. Bram’s resume includes work with Gatecreeper, Spirit Adrift, and Terminal Nation, and his involvement in Seasons of Gloom is presented as a technical and collaborative contribution to the record’s overall sound. The final mixes and mastering were handled by Zack Ohren, whose credits include Machine Head, Fallujah, Entheos, and All Shall Perish. Those production credits are listed alongside the band’s name on the release and appear on physical and digital packaging.
Artwork for Seasons of Gloom was created by Adam Burke of Nightjar Illustrations. The visual component accompanies the release across formats, which include a limited edition vinyl pressing and digital distribution. The band has made the record available through its Bandcamp page, where listeners can stream and purchase the album directly: https://wyrmhaven.bandcamp.com/album/seasons-of-gloom.
In the weeks leading up to the album’s release, Wyrmhaven issued a single titled "Unrelenting Storms" and made the record available for pre-order. Vocalist Steve Naemark contributed comments around that single’s rollout, which formed part of the promotional push in advance of the full release. The single and the album’s pre-release activity were positioned as the band’s way of connecting with listeners and building toward the full-length distribution on May 29.
The band’s interview was recorded and presented in audio and video formats. A video segment and an accompanying podcast episode were produced, with the interview credited to Ghost Cult Keefy. Editing credits for the interview are given to Omar Cordy, and theme music used in the segment is attributed to Salted Wounds. The band has also extended public thanks to Earsplit PR for coordinating interview opportunities connected to the release.
Seasons of Gloom is presented as Wyrmhaven’s first major statement on a full‑length platform, arriving after the band’s prior singles and promotional activity. The record’s personnel and production team—spanning the band, Ryan Bram, Zack Ohren, and Adam Burke—are all listed as contributors on release materials. The album is available now on limited edition vinyl and digitally via the band’s Bandcamp page: https://wyrmhaven.bandcamp.com/album/seasons-of-gloom. Special acknowledgments on the release and in associated media include Earsplit PR for interview facilitation and the names credited on the interview presentation: Ghost Cult Keefy (interviewer), Omar Cordy (editing), and Salted Wounds (theme music).
Since release, Wyrmhaven appeared on SiriusXM's Liquid Metal and Octane, hanging out with host Jose Mangin to share stories and laughs. Teeth of the Divine's July review by Erik T. called Seasons of Gloom a solid debut mixing 2000s metalcore, melodic death metal and more, praising its solos, songwriting and crisp production by Zack Ohren while noting the band as 'jack of all trades, master of none' with room to grow.
Seasons of Gloom is a 10‑track album — Corruptoris; Beneath the Pale; Morning Star; Sunless Solstice; Unrelenting Storms; Violent Afterglow; Nightshade's Embrace; Pendulum Faces; Lifeless Oceans; Obsidian Gold — with a total running time of approximately 35 minutes and 13 seconds.
Bandcamp credits indicate the record was recorded by Ryan Bram at Homewrecker Studios and that all songs were written, arranged and performed by Wyrmhaven.
The single "Unrelenting Storms" was issued ahead of the album on May 6, 2026.
Wyrmhaven's Bandcamp discography lists prior releases including Midnight Altar (April 2024), Sacred Grove (September 2023) and Delirium (August 2020).
