Austrian sludge doom masters TARLUNG sign with Italian powerhouse Argonauta Records for the release of their upcoming full-length “Axis Mundi”, set to arrive on January 30, 2026 on vinyl, CD and digital formats. Active since 2013, TARLUNG have carved their name deep into the European underground with a colossal, low-tuned sound that blends crushing heaviness and bleak atmospheres. Partnering with Argonauta marks a new and exciting chapter for the Vienna-based trio, pushing their sonic intensity even further. The new album Axis Mundi was recorded once again at DeepDeepPressure Studios and features artwork by Alex Eckman-Lawn. Following their acclaimed releases Beyond the Black Pyramid (Black Bow Records) and Architect (2021), Axis Mundi captures TARLUNG at their most punishing and immersive yet. To celebrate the signing, the band reveals the first single “Static Noise” https://song.link/tarlung_sn. “Do you hear? Hear it all? A new noise emerges. ‘Static Noise’ is the first single from our upcoming album ‘Axis Mundi’. We are thrilled to present the latest version of TARLUNG, harder and more brutal than ever.”
Over the years, TARLUNG have shared stages with EyeHateGod, Conan, Suma and Saturnalia Temple, touring across Austria, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Hungary and Slovenia, and appearing at festivals including Doom Over Vienna and Stoner Doom Festival Katowice. For fans of EyeHateGod, Crowbar, Weedeater, Iron Monkey, Dopethrone, Thou and Grime, Axis Mundi delivers an unrelenting dose of sludge-infused doom that demands to be felt as much as heard.
