“Transient Wounds, Spiritual Wilt” is the latest preview of In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night, the debut album from LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT, the newest venture from Milan, Italy-based Gabriele Gramaglia

Known for his work with Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis, and numerous other entities operating within the more adventurous reaches of extreme metal, Gramaglia established LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT as an outlet for a more ravenous and instinctive strain of death metal; one driven by brute momentum, frenzied aggression and an uncompromising rawness. Following the ferocious declaration of intent laid down by 2025’s Demo MMXXV, on In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night, that initial impulse erupts into a considerably more formidable and fully developed beast.

While retaining the layered, multifaceted songwriting characteristic of Gramaglia’s broader body of work, LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT directs that complexity toward outright pandemonium. Gritty, abrasive guitars churn through pummeling and intricate rhythmic contortions as tortured vocals howl from within the tumult and cascades of shrieking lead guitar slash across the album’s fractured landscape. Yet, beneath its seemingly unrestrained violence, lies a meticulously engineered attack: riffs twist and collide at excessive velocity, tempos lurch between hammering force and sudden acceleration, and flashes of classic heavy and speed metal emerge through the wreckage before being swallowed by the surrounding maelstrom.

In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night thrives upon this collision of precision and savagery, harnessing technical ability as another weapon in an arsenal built for maximum destructive force. LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT channels the restless imagination behind Gramaglia’s other work into something noticeably more feral and antagonistic; a sustained barrage of serrated riffing, relentless battery and deranged metallic energy. In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night tears open the gates on LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT‘s first full-length campaign with a frenzied death metal assault built to leave nothing standing in its wake.

Written, recorded, mixed and mastered between Fall 2025 and Spring 2026 by Gabriele Gramaglia in Crepuscular Sound Studio, In The Wide Vale Of Uncreated Night sees Gramaglia performing guitars, vocals, bass, synths, sound design, with additional vocals by Yr-nhhngr scattered throughout the record. Giorgio Trombino provides an additional solo in the ending section of “Transient Wounds, Spiritual Wilt,” Andrea Morgan performs violin and viola in “…And Therein Plant Unto Their Souls Asunder” and in “Eternal Scars And Imperative Backfires,” and Claudio Invidia handles all drums across the album. The album’s stark artwork was crafted by the refined mastery of Mariya Popyk (Assumption, Tomarum). Fans of Cosmic Putrefaction, Defacement, Black Curse, Absu, and Ascended Dead are advised to follow LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT.

With the new single now playing, Gramaglia writes, “‘Transient Wounds, Spiritual Wilt’ places itself as the fifth song of the record and it presents itself as one of the most relentless tracks, with ever-changing patterns and pace, paying from time-to-time tribute to old-schoolish frenzied blackened and death-thrash outfits like Aura Noir, Ares Kingdom, and Absu in the blend of influences. ‘Transient Wounds…’ also features three guitar solos, the last one of the three being played by the one and the only Giorgio Trombino of Assumption (and a long list of other bands), that has truly set his 6-stringed weapon on fire for the purpose with a blazing Rutan-esque run.”
