Soulgrind released their 10th album 'Ad Pulchram Mortem' - Emotions from the depths of Tuonela

Soulgrind is proud to announce the release of their long-awaited album 'Ad Pulchram Mortem', released on August 14, 2026 via Inverse Records. The album draws deeply from Finnish folklore and the ancient mythology of Tuonela (the realm of the dead) and marks not only a new chapter for the band, but a kind of resurrection.

After a fifteen-year hiatus, Soulgrind returned with one clear purpose: to carry life's darkest as well as most beautiful stories into music. Ad Pulchram Mortem, Latin for "toward beautiful death" is the culmination of that return: crushing doom riffs, the rawness of black metal, and haunting melodic passages woven together into a melodic mass. A mass that is as beautiful as it is dark.

A Word From the Band

"We feel an overwhelming sense of enthusiasm, pride, and excitement bringing this album into the world. Ad Pulchram Mortem is more than a collection of songs, it's the sound of Soulgrind's rebirth, a tribute to the stories and the life that shaped us. It is also a promise of everything still to come. We poured everything we had into this record, and sharing it with you now is one of the proudest moments of our journey as a band."

The Sound of Tuonela

Fronted by the powerful vocals of Tanja Lilith, Azhemin's beautiful melodies cut through the atmosphere, Azhemin's growls, Lord's guitars, and JP Immonen's bass drive the chaos with a low, steady pulse. Newer members Suntio and Micko Hell bring fresh energy to the band's evolving sound, while longtime collaborator Jarno Hänninen at D-Studio — a mixing partnership stretching back to 2003 — has made sure the album's sound lands exactly where it should: heavy, immersive, and unrelenting.
