Episode 366: Between the Tide and the Tomb — DOMHAIN on the making of In Perfect Stillness.
The Metal Cell PodcastShow Notes
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.
