Magma Rise Unleashes a Powerful New 7" Vinyl Single – Hungarian Doom Metal Veterans Continue Their Remarkable Journey
## Introduction
Hungarian doom metal force Magma Rise continues its impressive career with the release of a brand-new 7-inch vinyl single, showcasing the band's signature blend of crushing heaviness, memorable melodies and emotionally charged songwriting. Featuring two new compositions, the release represents everything Magma Rise has refined throughout more than 17 years of musical evolution.
## Artist Background
Founded in June 2009, Magma Rise was created by experienced musicians from Hungary's renowned underground metal scene. Its members previously performed with influential bands including MOOD, Wall of Sleep, Stereochrist and Neck Sprain, sharing stages over the years with legendary acts such as Anathema, Crowbar, Mastodon, Trouble, Candlemass, High on Fire, Testament and many more.
Over the years, Magma Rise has established itself as one of Hungary's most respected doom metal bands. Their debut album, Lazy Stream of Steel (2010), was followed by the critically acclaimed The Man in the Maze (2013), which earned HammerWorld Magazine's Album of the Month and was later voted Album of the Year at the Hungarian Metal Awards.
The band's history also includes collaborations with several highly respected musicians. Guest appearances throughout their catalogue include Kyle Thomas (Exhorder, Trouble), Brian Balich (Argus, Penance) and former Corrosion of Conformity vocalist Karl Agell, who appeared on the 2017 EP At the Edge of the Days. That release received strong praise from leading European rock and metal publications.
In 2021, Magma Rise released their third full-length album, To Earth to Ashes, To Dust, before returning to the European live circuit. Their latest studio album, Neither Land Nor Sea (2024), further strengthened the band's reputation for delivering atmospheric, emotionally driven doom metal without compromising its crushing intensity.
## The New Release
The new 7-inch vinyl single features two brand-new tracks: "The Window With Darkness Behind" and "The Child Who Inhaled the Moment and Exhaled the Universe."
Recorded at MD Studio in Sopron, Hungary, the songs perfectly capture the essence of Magma Rise's musical identity. According to the band, these compositions represent the purest expression of everything they have developed throughout nearly two decades of songwriting and performance.
## Musical Analysis
Massive riffs, haunting atmosphere and thoughtful songwriting remain the pillars of the Magma Rise sound, and both tracks lean fully into that identity. The heaviness never comes at the expense of melody, and the emotional charge of the writing gives the weight a purpose — the hallmark of a band that has spent seventeen years refining a single, coherent vision.
## Why Listeners Should Pay Attention
The release has already received critical recognition, earning an impressive 9/10 rating from HammerWorld Magazine, further confirming the band's reputation for consistently delivering high-quality doom metal. For anyone tracking European doom, a two-track vinyl statement distilled from nearly two decades of work is exactly the kind of release worth seeking out.
## Conclusion
With this latest release, Magma Rise once again demonstrates why they remain one of the leading names in the Hungarian doom metal scene. Combining massive riffs, haunting atmosphere and thoughtful songwriting, the band continues to push forward while staying true to the sound that has earned them loyal followers across Europe.
