TODOMAL – doom metal from the desolate landscapes of Spain

Who are TodoMal

TodoMal are a Spanish metal band formed in 2020. The project was founded by Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández, two experienced multi-instrumentalists from the Spanish underground scene.

Their music is rooted in traditional doom metal but reaches far beyond its usual boundaries. Heavy, slow riffs are combined with the vastness of space rock, church music, classic hard rock and cinematic atmospheres.

The result is a sound that can feel monumental, melancholic and hypnotic at the same time.

“Ultracrepidarian” and the beginning of the story

Their debut album “Ultracrepidarian” was released in 2021.

TodoMal established the foundations of their distinctive sound with their very first release. Doom metal was layered with psychedelic and atmospheric elements, while lengthy compositions provided enough space to gradually build tension.

The desolate landscapes of rural Spain served as an important source of inspiration. A sense of space, solitude and isolation became one of the recurring themes throughout their work.

“A Greater Good” and an expanding sound

Their second album “A Greater Good” followed in 2023.

The band developed a denser and more complex sound on the album. Traditional doom remained at its core, but atmospheric, progressive and psychedelic elements were given even more room.

The album attracted the attention of specialist metal media and further expanded TodoMal’s audience beyond the Spanish underground scene.

“Graveyards of Joy” – a new chapter

Their third album “Graveyards of Joy” was released in July via Season of Mist.

On the album, TodoMal continue to explore themes of melancholy, loss, solitude and desolate spaces. Heavy doom riffs meet expansive atmospheric passages, keyboards and an almost cinematic sense of space.

The album continues the ideas explored on their previous releases while developing them into an even broader and more ambitious sonic world.

From a studio duo to a full band

TodoMal began as a creative partnership between Christopher B. Wildman and Javier Fernández, but expanded into a five-piece line-up for live performances.

Additional guitar, drums, keyboards and vocals allow the band to bring their layered studio music to the stage without losing its heaviness or atmosphere.

This expanded format gives their songs additional dynamics and intensity in a live setting.

TodoMal live

TodoMal have performed at festivals including Be Prog! My Friend, Under the Doom and Frantic Fest, building a reputation beyond their native Spanish scene.

They have shared stages with artists such as Candlemass, My Dying Bride and Dødheimsgard, which gives a good indication of the musical territory they inhabit.

From traditional doom and psychedelia to the progressive and more extreme edges of metal, TodoMal belong to a new generation of bands that use the classic heaviness of the genre as a starting point rather than a destination.
