UMBERSOUND stated about the new song:

“My God, It's Coming From The Ocean” is a direct invocation of the Cthulhu mythos (H.P. Lovecraft). Devotion to the old one.. The follower seeks connection, but what answers back is not comfort, it's exposure to something beyond that the human mind can’t handle.”

UMBERSOUND‘s upcoming album “Tracks From The Slither” expands further into psychological terrain, exploring avoidance, internal decay, and the consequences of neglecting one’s inner self. Much of the album was captured in single takes, prioritizing instinct over precision and allowing each moment to exist as it happened.

“Tracks From The Slither” continues UMBERSOUND’s yearly release cycle - each record evolving in process while remaining rooted in the project’s core doom atmosphere.

This time, the approach shifts toward a raw, analog-driven methodology. Nearly the entire album was recorded through tape, pushing saturation to the limit.. The result is loud, dirty, and heavily textured—an intentional departure from a cleaner digital production in favor of something more raw this time around. The record leans into a heavier sonic weight than previous releases, with more screaming vocals as opposed to clean. The tape machine itself becomes part of the album…the harmonic saturation that shapes the album’s character.

The sound evokes the feeling of discovering a lost late reel buried in a vault - something unstable, and almost cursed. That sense of an unearthed presence runs throughout the album. Performance-wise, “Tracks From The Slither” strips away the extra bells and whistles. Much of the material was captured in single takes, prioritizing instinct over precision. The goal was not perfection, but directness - committing fully to each moment as it happened.
