Towering Black / Doom Metal / Rock from Houston.
Vilnius-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2021, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
