]]> We sit with DOMHAIN — Andy, Anaïs, and Nathan — to drift beneath the surface of their debut album In Perfect Stillness.
We explore:
• The making of In Perfect Stillness and how it evolved from their earlier work
• Recording at Foel Studio in Wales with the legendary Chris Fielding
• Their Northern Irish roots, landscape, and the influence of Irish myth, nature, and the ocean
• How they balance melancholy, introspection, and atmosphere in their music
• Their striking vocal dynamic — blending raw black metal vocals with tender clean vocals
• Guest contributions from Bryn Mills (composer on Footsteps/An Talamh Lom), Raul Andueza (cello), John Wilson (piano), Kacper Lewandowski (guitar), and Sarah Wieghell (vocals)
• The creative process behind tracks like Footsteps II, Talamh Lom, and the album’s title track
• Their split EP Of Pine and Oak with Ephemeral and how it shaped their new material
• And what to expect from their album launch show at Voodoo Belfast (March 7th) with Adfeilion

If you’re a fan of atmospheric metal, post-folk, black metal, or music rooted in myth, nature, and deep emotion — this episode is for you.

We explore the world of bass-only drone, sludge, experimental doom. 52:45 yes On this episode of The Metal Cell Podcast, we sit down for an in-depth, one-on-one conversation with Barry Murray, known for his devastating contributions to Cork heaviness through bands like Five Will Die, Partholón, and now his solo drone/doom project Skellig. Across the hour, Barry discusses the evolution from full-band chaos to the stark isolationism of solo bass-only sludge and drone, and why stripping everything back to one bass, seventeen pedals and two amps unlocked a new creative truth. We dive into the origins of Skellig, his minimalist artwork, and the personal philosophy behind making music with no vocals, no drums, no guitars — just tone, distortion, atmosphere, and intent. Barry also talks us through the creation of his new songs and why Rodger and the Cursed Monk ethos are the perfect fit for Skellig’s austere, ritualistic sound in 2026. We get to hear an exclusive and early insight into an exclusive forthcoming track — “A Future Ordained by Spilling Entrails”. We also revisit his previous releases, Of This Carved Land (2022) and Resonance of Our Dolmen (2024), discussing the commentary tied to each work, the minimalist photography behind the artwork, and how solitude, secularism, and distortion shape everything he creates.
