Much-praised American doom metal band Windhand from Richmond, Virginia is well-known for their heavy riffs, slow, engaging rhythms and dreamy, melancholy vibes.
With deeply layered guitar parts and the mesmerizing vocals of Dorthia Cottrell, Windhand creates an engaging and almost hypnotizing sound that holds a perfect balance between heavy and melancholy. Since 2010, the band has steadily grown into a true underground sensation. It led to the band being signed by the renowned Relapse label. In 2013 they released the well-received album “Soma”, which made it to numerous year’s end shortlists of well-known magazines and websites. Its predecessors, “Grief’s Infernal Flower” from 2015 and “Eternal Return” from 2018″, solidified their reputation as one of the leading bands in the genre.
The band is back once again and we can’t wait for their show in Merleyn. Windhand is highly recommended to fans of bands like Electric Wizard, YOB, Monolord, Sleep and Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats.
