TodoMal have revealed the title track from their upcoming third album, Graveyards of Joy. The song finds the Atmospheric Doom Metal duo in an “elegiac” mood as they present a “heavy meditation on depopulation, decay and the gradual reclamation of abandoned places.” Graveyards of Joy comes out July 3, 2026 on Season of Mist.
“Graveyards of Joy” draws from the ghost towns and emptied provinces of TodoMal’s native Spain, conjuring a landscape where “no gods’ll ever settle here, ‘cos all they ever do is walk by.” As the song unfolds, new people arrive, and signs of life begin to re-emerge. “Something resembling hope takes shape” during the finale.
Graveyards of Joy is the closing chapter of a trilogy that began with Ultracrepidarian (2021) and continued with A Greater Good (2023). Written in solitude following personal tragedy, the album draws on the landscapes and ghost towns of rural eastern Spain, a terrain the band describe as “raw, honest and untamed.”
TodoMal was formed in 2020 by Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández Milla, two veteran multi-instrumentalists of the Spanish underground scene. The band has since expanded into a five-piece live ensemble and performed at festivals including Be Prog! My Friend, Under The Doom Fest and Frantic Fest, sharing stages with Candlemass, My Dying Bride and Dødheimsgard.
Extensive European touring is confirmed for 2026, including a co-headlining run with Evoken across ten dates in July and August.
