Doodswens is a Dutch Black Metal band formed in 2017 by I. Live she
performs the drums and vocals, joined by R. & P. on bass and guitar.
Doodswens translates to Deathwish, but the meaning and heavy load to
the word in Dutch translates better to Driven by Death. The self-titled
sophomore album by Doodswens is out on April 17th 2026.
After
establishing themselves in the Dutch scene, Doodswens gained an
international following doing tours with Marduk & Gorgoroth.
Doodswens’ performances are ceremonial and ritualistic, which have been
reported to be as uplifting as they are devastating, depending on the
demons you bring them to offer. Whatever you carry with you will be
exposed. They like to confront instead of bringing comfort.
If
you've been on the verge of ending your life, or think about it more
often than not, then you're living with a death wish. A heavy feeling,
like a gray cloud hovering around you, gasping for breath and blurring
your vision. This is incomprehensible to anyone. Except for those caught
in the middle of it. But this album isn't about giving up. It's about
finding strength, about someone who regains new energy after facing
death. This album isn't about wishing for death, but the death of the
wish.
Band’s establisher I. talks about the new single Driven by Death:
“For
me, it was on the way back from a spontaneous adventure, full of music,
new connections, and inspiration. A path without a plan and a journey
without a goal, with only a very strong feeling that this is where I'm
meant to be. With a misty horizon of endless asphalt before me. A large
tree at the edge of the road, in the corner of my eye, screaming that
this could just be the end. But what I felt wasn't fear, it was
happiness. With the thought that if I crash into that tree now, I won't
care at all. Because up until this moment, I've done everything
possible, experienced every adventure, and each time, gotten up again
and faced life with that gray cloud around my head. I have a death wish,
so if it happens now, it's okay, and I'm at peace with it. This was the
moment I realized, I'm not afraid of life. I'm driven by death.”
Doodswens’
self-titled sophomore album is out on Svart exclusive Cream
White/Yellow/Orange vinyl, limited Violet vinyl, classic Black vinyl,
CD, and digital platforms on April 17th 2026. Official Doodswens T-shirt
with the album art also available for pre-order now.

ITP recommends that readers are 18 and up, we are not responsible for raising your kids.
I don't like people whom don't respect the metal genres, or ME following me on or offline, stalking or menacing me, any obsessions, or neighbors looking to fight, or make a delusional conspiracy theory out of nothing, so I will take legal action to define a boundary with posers and bullies. These bullies are NOT allowed at our or any metal shows.

All videos and music featured on ITP come straight from the labels and bands official YOU TUBE, VIMEO, SOUNDCLOUD and BANDCAMP accounts (I hope they go viral), under fair use, all rights reserved to the artists and labels, courtesy of the bands and labels.
ITP V.20/21's author writes alone, and always has. ITP V.020/21s TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS (and copy written) as ITP V.020/21 is a media partner for the music/metal industry and under fair use promoting music.
ITP REVIEWS are independent of record labels and others, record labels nor anyone can not censor ITP reviews, making a distinction between Public Relations, advertising as reviews are independent via ITP and have to be independent of record labels..

ITP is NOT associated with DEATH (Although I'm a fan) ITP V.020 is NOT a DEATH fan site, as ITP V.021 is a extreme metal news portal/blog for and about extreme metal.
ITP RESERVES SOME RIGHTS AS IN "FAIR USE" IN THE CONTEXT OF MUSIC, METAL and ENTERTAINMENT PROMOTION AND REVIEWS.
SOME RIGHTS RESERVED WITHOUT PREJUDICE Protect Yourself
BTW, ITP was EDITED in FULL (the entire journal in 2013 (Years ago-ITP looks and reads different huh?.
BTW, ITP TEXT is CREATIVE COMMONS and you might look silly as I have bit of black list in the music industry and beyond.
A couple of issues I would like to address:
ITP DOES NOT like PSYCHOTIC people following ITP, you're under arrest, I will sue you.
ITP does not promote local and regional artists/bands and music venues whom have screwed me over, don't reciprocate or bands, labels, venues I don't like.
It is NOT ITP's responsibility for promoting your venue, club or crap band or show, DIY and promote your self, If I don't promote you or your band are awful, the music is awful.
ITP only promotes what SHE likes, go play in your own sandbox.
I don't promote local or regional bands or/and venues just because they are local, nor do I ignore bands and venues from out of state and out of the U.S. .
ITP does not promote main stream music nor mall core..Only extreme metal..
There are a couple of labels that are blacklisted, one that is national socialist.
A few bands are blacklisted from ITP, and one or two venues.
Obviously is someone gets in fight over ITP there will be consequences, NOT YOURS, ITP owns her own copy right.
ITP is not a request journal, it is an extreme metal source for extreme metal news, no hipsters, ITP is my journal.
ITP, while a media partner for most labels,does not write for nor work for record labels and is independent of record labels. ITP is not owned by a record label.
BTW, regarding monetize for adverts, ITP does not normally do adverts and has not committed to monetize, although I'll look into it, depending on timing and circumstances.
Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal and welcome to ITP \m/
