Richmond, Virginia’s critically acclaimed WINDHAND deliver a nuanced and ethereal take on doom. Blending shuddering low-end fuzz and pounding rhythms with ethereal and airy vocals, the band recalls the sound of classic doom while adding a new dimension to one of metal’s heaviest subgenres. Emerging in 2010, the group became an underground sensation before signing to Relapse and releasing the acclaimed “Soma” LP, which featured prominently on a score of notable zine and website year-end lists. Subsequent outings like 2015’s “Grief’s Infernal Flower” and 2018’s “Eternal Return” helped cement WINDHAND’s reputation as one of the elite heavy music acts of our time.
