California-based experimental extreme metal duo ANTANIA have released their first new material following their signing with Argonauta Records. Consisting of Doc Luna and Kali Mortem, the duo have unveiled ‘33’, the first single and official music video from their forthcoming album "The Unholy 33".

‘33’ serves as the opening track on "The Unholy 33", which is due for digital release on October 16, 2026. Across its 11 tracks, the album continues ANTANIA's approach of combining avant-garde black metal, industrial music, and experimental electronics. One of the duo's defining characteristics is that they build their music without conventional guitars or bass. Synthesizers, low frequencies, layers of distortion, and mechanical rhythms form the core of their sound.

ANTANIA's musical identity draws on black metal bands such as DODHEIMSGARD, MYSTICUM, and THORNS, alongside the industrial legacy of SKINNY PUPPY and MINISTRY. These influences frame the band's approach to rebuilding the darkness of extreme metal through electronic sound design and mechanical rhythmic structures.

"The Unholy 33" will feature 11 tracks: ‘33’, ‘DVHM3R’, ‘Sn0wAnGeL’, ‘Gloomzday’, ‘ThUgG33’, ‘Cykl0pZ’, ‘Flies’, ‘AntVniV’, ‘Frazzledrip’, ‘Kultz’, and ‘HEarSe’.

The album will initially be released exclusively in digital format, while CD and vinyl editions will follow at a later date through Argonauta Records. Further details on the physical editions are expected to be announced in due course.

ANTANIA's new album cycle will not be limited to the studio. One day after the album's release, the duo will take the stage in Dubai as part of a series of Asian dates alongside Swedish metal band THE CROWN. The Indian leg of the tour will also see them perform with EVERGREY in Bengaluru on October 30.
