Italian doom metal trio Sickwood have dropped Vultures, the second single from their upcoming debut full-length album, May The Surface Be Condemned. The track arrives alongside an official music video produced by band members Mara Sverdrup and Maurizio Fabio Famร .
Formed in Rome in late 2024 by guitarist Famร and bassist/vocalist Sverdrup, the lineup solidified with the addition of drummer Valerio Urbani in September 2025. The trio recorded the album following a string of local live dates.
The track pairs low-end, fuzz-heavy guitar walls and sludgy tempos with vocals that shift between clean passages and growls. Across the release, the band frames critiques of modern societal systems through metaphors of chthonic deities and enchanted landscapes.
Vultures is out now, with May The Surface Be Condemned scheduled for release on November 20th, 2026, via This Charming Man Records.
