Into The Abyss With DAVE SMITH From IMMORIUM

Interview by Kris Peters
Australian melodic death outfit Immorium have laid the groundwork
and put in the hard yards since forming in 2011.
The very fact they are from one of this country's most isolated
music playgrounds almost puts them behind the eightball from the
start, but as the saying goes, build it and they will come.
And come they have.
Over two previous albums and one EP, Immorium have established
themselves as one of the leading lights of progressive and melodic
death metal this country has to offer. Not afraid to wear their
hearts on their sleeves, the band emanates an emotional rawness via
skyscraper harmonies and enormous musical roller coasters that are
further encapsulated in their lyrics.
But now, with album number three, shit gets real and Immorium have
stepped up to the plate with Rose Water Black, which wil be
unleashed on July 21. Cited as the band's 'most adventurous and
intimate release to date', Rose Water Black promises to finally
break the shackles and cast Immorium further into the great
unknown.
HEAVY sat down with vocalist Dave Smith to find out more.
Dave discussed the upcoming release of Rose Water Black, expressing
both excitement and nervousness about its reception. He delved into
the personal and emotional inspirations behind each song on the
album, revealing that the tracks are deeply rooted in his own
experiences, including his battle with a lung disease during COVID
and the loss of his brother. 
The discussion also touched on the band's musical evolution,
highlighting influences from other bands and the fusion of
progressive and melodic death metal in their music. Additionally,
Dave spoke about Immorium's upcoming Australian tour, where he
shared details about the tour dates and locations and promised a
mix of new and old songs in their live performances.
