Originally from Yerevan, Armenia, with subsequent connections to Russia, Austria, and the United States, Sadael is a one-man death/funeral doom metal project spanning a prolific catalog that includes full-lengths such as "Paralytic Thrall," "Deep Sleepers," and "Elysian Reverie: A Sonata of Shadows." The project consistently explores themes of grief, dissolution, and existential darkness through slow, suffocating arrangements punctuated by melodic guitar passages.
Saint Earth pair stoner and doom metal from the Halland/Vastmanland region since 2015. Their sanctified-ground name channels the holiness of the earth itself into compositions of heavy, fuzz-driven Scandinavian weight.
