Finnish heavy psych metal trio Mount Palatine has just revealed the full details of their massive upcoming album, titled ‘Wormholy World’, which is slated for release on February 6th, 2026, through Octopus Rising and Argonauta Records on CD and digital formats. Along with the highly anticipated announcement, the band has presented their hypnotic new single and official video clip, “Newborn Sun.” The band, founded in Helsinki, grew from years of long-term musical chemistry and a creative force driven by instinct, featuring the talents of Jean the Baron on guitar and vocals, Count Boogie on bass, and Lord of the Groove on drums.
“Newborn Sun” is the colossal closing track of ‘Wormholy World’, clocking in at over ten minutes of massive, hypnotic psych-metal. The band commented on the track’s effortless creation, noting, “The missing piece appeared almost naturally, and two songs took shape. ‘Newborn Sun’ flowed out nearly in the same form it appears on the album. The lyrics came just as effortlessly with the chorus calling for mantra like channelling. At its core, ‘Newborn Sun’ proclaims a universal vision of the eternal cycle of life while carrying a deeply personal resonance.” Their sound moves seamlessly from crushing sludge-charged riffs to hypnotic psychedelic atmospheres, and from fierce screams to ethereal clean passages, ensuring every song becomes an immersive journey.
The trio’s signature blend draws deeply from doom, stoner, sludge, progressive metal, and psychedelic rock, creating music that is intense yet fluid, spiritual yet heavily grounded. Lyrically and thematically, ‘Wormholy World’ explores cosmic and spiritual domains, reflecting powerfully on existence, creation, decay, and the ultimate mysteries of the universe. The band stated that the album is “an ultimate trip through destruction and recreation, the chaos of life and the universe itself.” They added that the album builds on the psychedelic heavy jams that define their style, with all songs created and arranged through continuous riffs and live interplay in their rehearsal space before Mactus the Magemaster finalized the cosmic clarity of the recordings. Fans of Elder, Stoned Jesus, Mastodon, and Down will certainly find plenty to explore in this heavy, visionary new work.
