Polish death metallers CLAIRVOYANCE will unleash their ferocious new full-length, Chasm Of Immurement, on July 18th via Carbonized Records. In advance of the record’s release, today the band unleashes first single, “Eternal Blaze.”

As per the band themselves, the track’s lyrics powerfully articulate the profound and often unseen eternal suffering experienced by individuals living with mental health conditions. References to pervasive gloom, the isolating nature of the struggle, and constant internal torment permeate the song’s lyrics. “Eternal Blaze” conveys a harrowing sense of being lost forever in an infernal night, a powerful lament for those whose cries are often unheard and never seen.

Chasm Of Immurement was recorded and engineered by CLAIRVOYANCE guitarist Kacper Pawluk, mixed by Pawluk and Piotrek Polak, and mastered by Polak, and features artwork by Paolo Girardi (Bell Witch, Black Breath, Vastum, Artificial Brain), layout by Mark Reategui, and logo by Sarcofagore.

The record includes guest appearance by Tomb Mold’s Derrick Vela and Snét’s Marek Drahota on “Hymn Of The Befouled” as well as Fessus’ Brenton Weir on “Monument To Dread” and will be released on CD, LP, cassette, and digital formats.

Poland’s CLAIRVOYANCE was forged in late 2019 by vocalist Maciej Cesarczyk and guitarist Denis Didenko. Both shared a love for heavy music and decided to create something out of it even though Cesarczyk at that time had no experience as a vocalist, and Didenko, who moved to Poland from Ukraine in 2015, hadn’t picked up a guitar in several years.

The duo eventually locked into an old-school death metal sound and welcomed drummer Adrian Szczepański and bassist Jasiek Kraciuk to the lineup. Taking inspiration mostly from Finnish and American bands from the ’90s, the quartet quickly conjured a three-song demo, released in May of 2020. The demo, while only ten minutes long, was received positively both locally and internationally. Caligari Records would go on to release the demo on cassette, while Poland’s Behind The Mountain label whelped release the 7″ vinyl edition.

They also started playing local shows, quickly gaining notability within Warsaw’s death metal underground. Łukasz Lipski, a well-known musician in the local punk scene, asked to join the band and became the fifth member, bringing a much-needed second guitar to the band’s live appearance.

CLAIRVOYANCE spent the entirety of 2021 working on new songs and playing occasional live shows, including a mini tour with Polish metal legends KAT and Vader. That year also marked the departure of the bassist Jasiek Kraciuk, who left the band due to personal reasons right after the recording of the new songs were completed. Soon thereafter, Kacper Pawluk joined CLAIRVOYANCE, and in this lineup the band approached the release of the new EP, Threshold Of Nothingness, released via Blood Harvest in May of 2022. Of the EP, VM Underground hailed, “first-class death metal that will not disappoint,” while Metal Bite wrote, “Threshold Of Nothingness brings back the old death metal feeling with a slightly refurbished and redone attitude.”

Following the release, CLAIRVOYANCE played numerous live shows throughout 2022, supporting bands such as Blood Incantation, Convulse, Mortiferum, and Cerebral Rot. Later that year, Lipski left the band to focus on his solo projects, and the band took a short break to recharge and reevaluate their approach to music.

CLAIRVOYANCE later recruited Vlad Levchenko to the bass position and Pawluk switched to guitar. The band returned to the the studio in the Summer of 2024 to record their long overdue debut LP, Chasm Of Immurement. By upping the intensity and the aggressiveness of their sound, the band hopes to start a new chapter in their journey and to show their listeners what CLAIRVOYANCE was truly meant to be.
