Denial of Death is a black/death/doom metal entity forged in the shadow of global isolation—conceived as a one-man act in Nuremberg, Germany, during the 2021 pandemic. Founded by Glauber Haereticus, a Brazilian expatriate, the project emerged as a sonic resistance against spiritual stagnation and existential fear.

The debut EP, Unholy Trinity, was released just months after its inception, delivering a raw yet philosophical blend of blackened aggression and doomed despair. That same year, Denial of Death explored a more introspective side through the singles “The Eternal Rest” and “Wisdom and Sorrow”—slow-paced, mournful compositions enriched by acoustic passages and choir arrangements that revealed the project’s emotional depth and versatility.
As the vision expanded, the sound followed. Denial of Death grew from a solo project into a full band with the arrival of Petros (drums), Susie (rhythm guitar), and Julian Roos (lead guitar). Although Julian had to step away a few weeks before the first concert, Michajlo joined shortly thereafter, completing the line-up and making the band’s live début possible. With this transformation, Denial of Death broadened its sonic range while remaining faithful to its core themes: mortality, defiance, and existential reckoning.
Denial of Death conjures a sound that is at once phantasmagorical, atmospheric, and confrontational. Their music navigates the liminal space between sacred and profane, between philosophical inquiry and apocalyptic catharsis.
The EP Unholy Trinity was recorded in Nuremberg and mixed/mastered by Michael Kraxenberger at Sick of Sound Studios in Munich. The full-length debut album, A Failed Exorcism, was entirely produced by Glauber Haereticus, reflecting the project’s uncompromising artistic autonomy.
