The story
Dungeon Serpent have streamed Lamentations Of The Shadowkingdoms in full ahead of its release on 30/10/2026 through Profound Lore Records. It is the Vancouver band’s second album, five years after their debut World Of Sorrows.
Arawn handles all vocals, guitars, keyboards and bass, with new drummer Bhraonáin (Fake Dust). Violins come from string player and composer Anju Singh (The Nausea). The label says the six tracks draw on black metal, brutal death metal, jazz and grind alongside the band’s melodic death metal base.
The album was mixed and mastered by Damian Herring of Horrendous at Subterranean Watchtower Studios, with cover art by Marc Potts. A video for “Rainland’s Elegy” is also out.

Our take
Profound Lore rarely signs anything ordinary, and a Horrendous-mixed melodic death record built on early-90s romance and violence is squarely in its lane. Six long tracks, so give it a proper sitting.
Bottom line
Out 30/10/2026 on Profound Lore; the full stream is up now.
