Dutch black metal band ASGRAUW is proud to announce that their new album “Solips” will be released on the 12th of November via the labels Zwaertgevegt, Hidden Marly Production, and JEM’s label.

Since 2010, ASGRAUW has been carving their name into the blackened heart of the Dutch underground. No trends. No compromises. Just a homage to the second wave’s frostbitten fury, twisted through their own merciless vision. And now, with “Solips,” they’ve sharpened the blade further.
Seven albums in, and ASGRAUW still doesn’t give a damn about your expectations. “Solips” is a reckoning, a brutal, unflinching dive into the abyss of perception. You want answers? You’ll get questions. You want comfort? You’ll get the cold, unyielding truth: reality is yours alone to define.
Perception. Observation. Time. Experience. How do you know what you see is real?
How do you know anyone else sees the same thing?
An attack on the illusion of shared reality. The riffs? 100% ASGRAUW as you know them, a blade dragging across bone. The atmosphere? A suffocating fog of existential dread. The themes? A descent into the self as the only undeniable truth. And when the final note fades, the weight of it lingers.
Doubt everything. Question everything. “Solips” is here.
Regarding the creative process, ASGRAUW has crafted “Solips” entirely in-house, with the band members writing, recording, and mixing the album themselves. This hands-on approach ensures the preservation of their unique identity and sound, which has been a hallmark of their work since inception. This new album promises to be a continuation of ASGRAUW's tradition of thematic and sonic exploration.
The band has also shared the artwork by Ronarg, while the definitive tracklist can be read as follows:
1. Confabulatie
