#BreakingNews : ALIZAM Unleashes Haunting New Single “Epitaph” — A Dark Folk Doom Masterpiece

-


Tehran, Iran — July 31, 2025 — Emerging atmospheric doom-folk band Alizam has released their latest single “Epitaph” (5:10), a dirge-like piece that examines death not as an end, but as a long-awaited release from the torment of existence. This is the newest offering ahead of their much-anticipated full-length album Exilium Vitae (The Exile of Life), which promises a conceptual odyssey through decay, exile, and spiritual erosion.

Founded in 2019 by brothers Alireza and Mohammadreza Nasiri, Alizam operates as an independent band based in Tehran. Their sound blends dark folk and atmospheric doom metal, weaving themes of nature, sorrow, and existential despair.

With “Epitaph”, the band follows in the steps of previous singles The Withered, Dust Claims Us All, Gilded Cage, and Vortex of Habit — each expanding the band’s explorations of human frailty, ritual decay, and emotional exile.


Band Lineup & Identity:

  • Genre: Dark folk / atmospheric doom metal
  • Members: Founders Alireza & Mohammadreza Nasiri, with contributions from Saman Malekinejad among others
  • Themes: Emphasis on nature, sadness, spiritual exile, introspection, and decay

What “Epitaph” Brings:

  • A haunting, slow-burning composition replete with folk instrumentation and doom metal weight, intending to evoke both sorrow and catharsis.
  • Lyrics and atmospherics that frame death not as something to fear, but as a final deliverance from the burdens of consciousness and suffering.

Fans of the genre — and those who journey into the gloaming spaces between pain, reflection, and beauty — will want to heed this release. Exilium Vitae is poised to deepen Alizam’s reputation as one of the most compelling voices in dark folk / doom, especially in the independent metal scene.

Stay tuned for the full album release; in the meantime, “Epitaph” is now available across streaming platforms.
