Pneumaris: An Atmospheric Website for a Metal Project
A layered 3D homepage, a catalog of releases, and every platform one click away.
Pneumaris is a metal project with five releases so far: three albums, an EP, and a single. We designed and built the website, and our team manages its music and social profiles. The site has been updated with each new release since its first version in May 2026.
The goal
Fans should be able to hear the music without leaving the site, see every release in one place, and find the band on whichever platform they already use.
Design
The site is dark and cinematic. The homepage layers a fixed environment behind a curved character surface that turns toward the mouse, with optional tilt on phones. Visitors who prefer reduced motion, or whose browsers can't run WebGL, see a still version, and a pause control stops the motion at any time.
What we built
- A homepage featuring the latest release, with a wallpaper preview
- A music page with every release's cover, type, release date, description, and track count
- Embedded Spotify players for each release, with a SoundCloud fallback, and a lightbox for cover art
- An extras page with a free desktop wallpaper download
- Links to Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok, X, Instagram, and Facebook in the header
- A contact form protected by hCaptcha and a hidden spam trap
Behind the scenes
Release details live in one shared data file, so adding an album updates the homepage, the music page, and the structured data together.
- Music recording structured data for each track, plus sitemap and canonical URLs
- Optimized images and a responsive layout with a mobile menu
- Opt-in Google Analytics behind a cookie consent banner
- Security response headers, including a content security policy
