About
Who we are, Why we create.
Who we are
Born in the heart of Scotland, Gloom is Okay is an alternative metal band that blends crushing heaviness with haunting atmospheres. Rooted in raw emotion and intricate soundscapes, our music explores the grey areas of existence—the struggles, the chaos, and the moments of clarity in between.
Our Sound
A balance of weight and atmosphere—where dense, crushing heaviness collides with haunting, melodic textures. Dynamic and immersive, it shifts between delicate introspection and raw intensity, creating a space where vulnerability and power coexist. Every song is built on emotion, layering intricate rhythms, deep ambience, and distorted waves of sound to pull listeners into its depths.
Why ‘Gloom is okay’?
The name reflects a simple truth: darkness isn’t something to be feared—it’s something to be understood. We channel themes of self-worth, mental health, and identity, embracing the idea that it’s okay not to be okay. Our music doesn’t just sit in the shadows; it finds beauty within them.
The journey so far
From the beginning, Gloom is Okay has been about crafting music that feels raw, immersive, and deeply personal. Our debut EP, laid the foundation for our sound—blending heavy, atmospheric textures with introspective themes. With our upcoming album, Nothing Human, we’re taking that vision further, pushing deeper into themes of self-worth and identity. Our focus has been on building a sonic world that speaks for itself—one that will soon come to life in new ways.
Nothing Human
Our upcoming album, Nothing Human, is a deep dive into themes of self-worth, detachment, and what it means to be human in an increasingly disconnected world. Waves of distortion, haunting melodies, and raw intensity come together to form a sonic journey that’s as personal as it is expansive. This album represents the next chapter of Gloom is Okay—a statement of who we are and where we’re heading.
