Russian blackgaze duo Olhava is back with their sixth studio album. Memorial continues the path opened by Sacrifice. After the burning, there is stillness. Time spent among what remains. Ashes settle, memory lingers, and the question is no longer how to begin again, but what can finally be released.
Olhava‘s new album is dedicated to more than one loss. It holds space for the dead, for love that has outlived itself, for time that cannot be returned, for friends forced to flee, and for selves left behind. Its meaning remains open, shifting with each return — a structure in the forest, unchanged, waiting.
The first single from Memorial, “When The Ashes Grow Cold” is available for streaming worldwide via YouTube and your platform of choice. Memorial will be released February, 27th, 2026, on CD, 2LP and digital. Preorders are now available.
