Erdve is a Metal band from Vilnius, Lithuania, who has been experimenting with extreme music since 2016. In 2017, the band signed a record contract with Season of Mist who later released their debut album, Vaitojimas (translated as “Moaning”). Their second album, Savigaila, (translated as: “Self-loathing”) arrived in 2021.

The band have now announced their upcoming third album, Epigrama, arriving May 26th, 2026, and the single and video for “Ydos” are out now. “Ydos” moves into a place where “self-doubt calcifies into something closer to self-destruction.”

Epigrama is an album that takes a different approach towards experimenting within the confines of Heavy Music and reflective storytelling. The goal was to “craft a meticulous consistency between the music, lyrics and sound production, where every aspect of the song works together to create meaningful impact.”
