Atlanta-based metal collective LUNGBURNER have announced the release of their new single “Adamu”, the opening track from their forthcoming third full-length album Dogma, due out April 17. The single serves as the first glimpse into the band’s most expansive and conceptually driven work to date.

Based out of Atlanta, GA, LUNGBURNER present their third release in the form of Dogma. Heavily schooled in the southern sludge methodology and intermixing industrial atmospheres with progressive melodic sensibility, Dogma sees the band stretch their creative legs as they slowly evolve into their own unique footprint within the metal and underground scenes. Dripping with spiritual, social, and human context, Dogma is LUNGBURNER’s thesis on the modern trappings of entrenched thinking, and the horror blind obedience lays upon mankind.
Opening the album, “Adamu” begins with a haunting invocation to the Fallen Angel Lucifer layered over tribal drum samples, immediately establishing the ritualistic tone of the record. The track quickly unfolds into a melodic statement before landing in a driving rhythmic pulse that propels the song forward. Anchored by the thunderous low end of Joshua on bass and Jens’ aggressive vocal delivery, the rest of LUNGBURNER drives the song relentlessly forward, claiming the sonic moment as their own.
Notably, “Adamu” was the first song LUNGBURNER wrote for Dogma following the addition of bassist Joshua in early 2025, marking the beginning of a new creative chapter for the band and setting the tone for the album’s thematic and sonic direction.
With Dogma, LUNGBURNER push deeper into their blend of southern sludge weight, industrial atmosphere, and progressive melody, delivering a record that is as philosophically provocative as it is sonically punishing.
“Adamu” is available now, with Dogma arriving in full on April 17.
About LUNGBURNER:
LUNGBURNER is an Atlanta, Georgia based heavy music band formed in Athens, Georgia in 2023 by guitarist and vocalist Jens Anderberg, guitarist Joseph Mills, and drummer Dylan Mincey. The band quickly developed a reputation for combining the crushing weight of southern sludge and doom with industrial textures, progressive songwriting, and atmospheric melody. Current members include Jens Anderberg on guitar and lead vocals, Joseph Mills on guitar and backup vocals, and Joshua Broughton on bass, with a new drummer currently being finalized.
Drawing influence from artists such as YOB, HIGH ON FIRE, KILLING JOKE, NINE INCH NAILS, PRINCE, SLOMATICS, OPETH, LED ZEPPELIN, and MINISTRY, LUNGBURNER creates rhythmically mature heavy music built on downtuned guitars, layered samples and synth textures, and dynamic song structures. Their sound blends the density of doom with progressive timing and melodic depth while maintaining a powerful live energy.
The band released their debut album Embers in January 2024 followed by their sophomore record Natura Duale in September 2024 through Electric Desert Records, along with the standalone single “Misery” in 2024. Both releases helped establish the band within the underground heavy music scene, earning placements including #32 on the Doom Charts in September 2024, Rob Hammer Band of the Year 2024, Weedian Top 100 of 2024, and Monster Riff Top 75 of 2024.
LUNGBURNER has performed widely across the southeastern United States, appearing at festivals such as Tampa Doom & Gloom Fest, Gravitoid Heavy Music Doomfest, Seismic Fest, ATL Doom Fest, Stoned Riff Revival, and AthFest, while also touring the region in 2025 on the Fall Into Darkness Tour with FALSE GODS. Additional highlights include opening for BARONESS at their Atlanta New Year’s Eve 2025 performance and headlining Doomed and Stoned Fest in Asheville, North Carolina.
Outside of music, all members work professionally in various engineering fields, and none of them originally came from traditional doom or stoner rock backgrounds. Their approach to the genre grew organically from a shared appreciation for heavy music and experimentation, which continues to shape the band’s evolving sound as they move toward a more progressive direction while maintaining their doom foundation.
