Moscow, Idaho's Womb of Ash occupy the slow, suffocating end of the extreme metal spectrum, combining funeral doom's glacial pace with black metal's despairing atmosphere. Formed in 2020, they've built a sound defined by extended song structures and a density of grief that takes patience to sit with. The combination of black and funeral doom metal is punishing in the best sense — nothing about this music rushes toward resolution.
