DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present TÈLMA’s highly anticipated debut album, Ανθρωποβόρος, on CD and vinyl LP formats.

Hailing from Greece’s vital doom scene, Τέλμα (TÈLMA) was formed in 2017 by Marios, Kostis, and Vangelis. All three men were brought together by their love for traditional doom metal, which led them to blend their influences of Russia’s Scald, Chile’s Procession, Reverend Bizarre, and the UK’s Warning into songs of slow, ceremonial, and melancholic atmosphere, also incorporating elements of epic metal whilst staying true to the traditional doom metal spirit.

In 2021, the band released the single “Ξίφη Στραμμένα Στο Φοίνικα,” which appeared on the compilation Art Against Censorship. The addition of Chris on drums in early 2024 made possible the completion of their first full-length, Ανθρωποβόρος (English: “Man-Eater”). Originally released only digitally but now finding physical release courtesy of DYING VICTIMS, TÈLMA’s debut album displays the blanching power of slo-mo emotion and forlorn majesty. Very much firmly within the wider doom pantheon but very much also fully conveying the band’s particular personality, Ανθρωποβόρος nevertheless emits a unique atmosphere due to TÈLMA’s usage of their native tongue:

a conscious choice, and a challenge mastered. Fittingly for such literally weighty metal, the album’s lyrics deal with the subjects of inner struggle, emancipation, the man-made misery of this world, and coming to terms with the inevitable end. That TÈLMA are able to weave distinctive melody and transfer those emotions beyond the meaning of the lyrics – no need to say “It’s all Greek to me” here – adds a mysterious, multidimensional element to their epic doom, and suggests further mastery to come. Fans of the aforementioned as well as Solitude Aeternus, DoomSword, and Crypt Sermon are wholeheartedly encouraged to get devoured by Ανθρωποβόρος!
