The wild, untamed force of Tasmanian metal returns. Van Diemen – often hailed as The Tasmanian Devils – have released their brand-new single “A Patient Man”, the first taste of their forthcoming full-length album Van Diemen III, set for release on October 14th, 2025.
Following the success of their heavily acclaimed sophomore record Sarcophilus Laniarius, Van Diemen continue to forge their own unique path in melodic death metal. Their sound is equal parts fury and finesse, sharpened to perfection and soaked in the cold mystique of Tasmanian wilderness and mythology.
With returning studio vocalist Wild Eye of Majak and masterful production from the legendary Joe Haley (Crawlspace Productions), Van Diemen III delivers an uncompromising blend of power, melody, and atmosphere that raises the bar yet again for the band.
The band shares:
“This is the album that truly captures the sound that is Van Diemen, melodic death metal with a Tasmanian twist.”

Bio
Pure Tasmanian Metal.
Van Diemen bring the true sounds of the island’s unforgiving landscapes and long-lost mythology into their music. Their melodically charged death/black metal approach captures the essence of Van Diemen’s Land unlike any other—unforgiving, untamed, and steeped in shadows.
With Van Diemen III, the band are poised to unleash their definitive statement: brutal yet beautiful metal, straight from the heart of Tasmania.
