Boston's Mollusk combine the crushing weight of sludge with the suffocating drag of doom metal, creating music that feels appropriately deep-sea and oppressive. Formed in 2020, they've found their place in Boston's storied heavy music underground with a sound that's slow, heavy, and deliberate.
Los Angeles' Molocchio, formed in 2024, take their name from the Italian evil eye and bring a similarly malevolent edge to their raw black metal, emerging from the L.A. underground with an aesthetic rooted in curse and occult dread. A genuinely new entry in the city's active black metal scene.
