Italian Gothic-Doom metal veterans Motus Tenebrae have officially marked their return with the release of the title-track video for their upcoming album, "In Sorrow's Requiem". The cinematic visual, produced by Solar Sphere Multimedia, premiered on April 15, 2026, offering a deep dive into the band's signature melancholic atmosphere.
The track features the powerful return of longtime vocalist Luis McFadden, delivering a performance that balances the crushing weight of doom with the melodic elegance of gothic metal. According to a statement from the band, the song explores the psychological journey of a "solitary traveler" caught between a painful past and an uncertain future. Far from being just a funeral dirge, the "Requiem" symbolizes a transformation—an inner victory and the prelude to a spiritual rebirth.
We’re thrilled to announce the release of our brand-new single and video “Endless Buildings”!
The track captures our latest creative vision — blending powerful melodies and immersive atmospheres — while the video brings the song’s emotion to life through stunning visuals.

The dark Tuscan combo was born in Pisa in July 2001, under the will of bassist Andrea Das Cox and singer-guitarist Luis McFadden, historical members who are still part of the line-up. In April 2002 they released their first EP “Beyond”.
In 2005 they released their first full length “Wayside”, the album attracted the attention of New LM Records, who offered the band an important contract. At the same time they began to compose material for the new album “Soul Expression” which was released in October 2007 with the entry of Anton Chaney on drums (Death SS, Rhumornero, Tossic).
With the new album Motus Tenebrae deservedly earned the title of one of the best gothic doom metal bands in the Italian music scene. In 2009 the concept album “The Synthetic Bliss” was released. In 2012, Luis McFadden left the band and was replaced by Valerio Voliani (Diesanera) and on 12/12/2012 Revalve Records released the album Double Black. In 2014 the frontman Luis returned on a permanent basis and saw the entry of Andrea Falaschi (Deathless Legacy) behind the drums.
In the meantime a new contract was signed with My Kingdom Music and on January 25, 2016 the album “Deathrising” was released. After a long break, the band is ready to share its stylistic and musical evolution, and the release of a new long-awaited album is scheduled for 2025.
