Official: Season of MistSigning
The Santiago progressive death-doom band end more than a decade of silence and return to the label that released Streams Inwards.
The story
Mar de Grises have re-signed with Season of Mist, which will release the band’s long-awaited fourth album next year. Their last album was Streams Inwards in 2010, also on Season of Mist.
The band formed in 2000 and were the first South American band to join the French label, after an earlier spell with Finland’s Firebox Records. Season of Mist says Streams Inwards led to tours with Sólstafir, Swallow the Sun and Saturnus and festival slots alongside Opeth, Enslaved and Katatonia.
The band say the new songs are “dark and cinematic”, shaped by Chile’s landscape from the Andes and the Atacama to Tierra del Fuego. They headlined Cryptic Celebration VII at Teatro Cariola in Santiago on 30/10/2026 and opened for Opeth at Movistar Arena on 01/11/2026.

The wait is over. Mar de Grises are back!
Mar de Grises
Our take
Sixteen years between albums is a long time, but Mar de Grises left on a high and the label clearly wants them back. Progressive death-doom with real atmosphere is thin on the ground, and their return is good news for that corner of the genre.
Bottom line
Nothing to buy yet. Watch for the album title and date from Season of Mist.
