A product of Ukraine's battle-tested metal underground, this Chernihiv-based doom metal, sludge metal, and stoner metal act channels desert-baked tonality and psychedelic haze over lumbering rhythms. Active since 2019, their catalog reveals a band unafraid to explore the darker corners of heavy music.
One-person blackened doom metal project from Skegness, UK, launched in 2021 with the album Ascension on Narcoleptica Productions.
