As mentioned, the LP has a shipment date a bit later, scheduled for January 2027 as this was a last-minute edition to our 2026 plans, but we definitely felt that this release deserved an LP edition as well!

• Album Notes •
Where The Formless Ones Dwell” is Stellar Rot’s debut launch into the atmospheric black metal genre after years of performing together in a traditional black metal band. Stellar Rot began as a concept to explore the deep lore around the Grimdark universe, pulling imagery from a world tormented by countless horrors from beyond the void and humankind being pushed to the brink after unfathomable atrocities they committed to conquer the stars over the course of several millennia.
Before a single note was written, the duo spent countless nights over the course of many years, debating and studying art and media around this endless and vast universe. The concept of the album was fully developed in 2025, with the goal of creating 5 separate unique tracks, each fully distinct and designed around a specific god, with the entire structure of the song - every note, lyric, melody - built around servicing that god from beyond the void. Tracks such as “Behold, The Crimson Path” that service the god of war and bloodshed encompass punishing, brutal riffs and tribal drums to showcase the call to war, while other tracks such as “Miasmic Dipsomania” display a much different feel, embodying a god whom deals in much more sinister affairs and hosts ambient, evil riffs with chaotic drums that slowly gives the listener the feeling of descending into pure madness.
Each track transports the listener into a distinct section of the endless void - from landscapes encapsulating prismatic winds and crystal formations, to the putrid, festering lands of rot and decay. Stellar Rot seeks to bring this haunting and unfathomably cruel world to life in its purest form. Descend into the mouth of ruin, and discover what horrors await.
