History & Biography
The doom and progressive act came together in 2017. Reflections Doubt was the name of a one-song demo by Qaalm, which was described as an “atmospheric doom metal band” from Act Of Defiance singer Henry Derek Elis. The band signed with Canada-based record label, Hypaethral Records, for a double-LP edition in September 2021. The 2022 album, Resilience & Despair, featured four songs and lasted over an hour. The band bled members with only Derek and drummer Ferrara remaining. Guitarist Minsu Dylan Kim joined in 2022.

Qaalm released a new EP, called First Light Of The Last Dawn, through Hypaethral Records on June 21st 2024. Resurrectionists’s Chris Cozzi was a guest bassist. The band and Dead Memory were touring the USA.
