Dissolved in Time

After nearly a decade of silence, Kongh returns. Dissolved in Time is released on September 25, 2026 via Trust No One Recordings — three tracks built from ideas accumulated over the last decade, written and developed over six months of intensive work.

Crushing heaviness, vast atmosphere and hypnotic repetition, expanded with electronics, layered textures and some of the most ambitious compositions in the band's history.

Kongh was formed in Småland, Sweden in 2004. Between 2007 and 2013 the band released three critically acclaimed albums that established them as one of Sweden's most distinctive voices in heavy music, building a devoted international following through extensive touring alongside acts such as Meshuggah and YOB before entering an extended hiatus.

Kongh now re-emerges with a record that does not attempt to replicate the past, but instead continues and sharpens it. Based on ideas accumulated over the last decade and developed over six months of intensive work, the new album is a focused continuation of the band's established sound, rooted in its signature blend of crushing heaviness, vast atmosphere and hypnotic repetition, while incorporating electronics, layered textures and some of the most ambitious compositions in Kongh's history.

The album was written and recorded under the direction of founding member David Johansson, who performed guitars, bass, electronics and lead vocals while also handling the mixing process. Drawing on years of experience gained both within Kongh and through his time as a touring guitarist for Cult of Luna between 2013 and 2019, Johansson shaped a record that is both deeply personal and structurally expansive.

Joining him on the record are Christian Augustin (Cult of Luna, Totalt Jävla Mörker) on drums and Jörgen Sandström (Grave, Entombed) on backing vocals.

Rather than functioning as a reunion in the nostalgic sense, Kongh's fourth album stands as a continuation — a record shaped by absence, persistence and renewal. It reconnects with the foundations of the band while presenting its most focused and fully realized expression to date.
