Cairiss Wilderness 10/6/26

Atmospheric Blackgaze architects Cairiss break a decade-long hiatus with their highly anticipated full-length debut album, 'Wilderness', due to be released on Friday 31st July, and to mark their re-emergence, the South of England sextet have already revealed a striking visual introduction to the album's core themes, of which the stunning, completely hand-animated music video by vocalist Freya Brown for the closing track 'Wildfire', is today's Video Of The Day. Comprising six tracks, Cairiss sit precisely where Black Metal’s cold intensity meets the immersive haze of Shoegaze, having first redefined the boundaries of the underground scene with their landmark 2014 demo single 'Disgraced', and although ten years in the making, 'Wilderness' is less of a standard comeback and more of a total reclamation of their sonic identity.
