Bathed in Light

by Usnea

supported by
Tom Shepherd
Tom Shepherd thumbnail
Tom Shepherd Oscillating between mountainous doom riffs, piercing black metal attack and post-metal atmospherics without ever losing focus or drive. An album to get lost in; and one of the albums of 2023. Favorite track: The Compleated Sage.
Doom_and_Dead

Doom_and_Dead This album is a slow trudge through the depths--full of calloused textures and black metal edges. Ponderous riffs and ferocious growls jostle for control, as if to echo society’s continued collapse. Read the full review at doomanddead.com/post/718860716077170688. Favorite track: From Soot and Pyre.
Darknight

Darknight Usnea create the most epic of doominess sludge metal with the major whiff of darkened funeral metal and it all comes together to suffocate you. Favorite track: From Soot and Pyre.
Funeral Fog

Funeral Fog Writing for Doom Heart, we receive a lot of links to early album streams, this being one of them. You can check out the full album early at CVLT Nation. My favorite track on the album, without a doubt is The Compleated Sage. It is a beast to behold. Premeditatio Malorum starts off with a beautiful and slow guitar section, it lulls you in, then blasts your ears with thunderous funeral doom. The post-rock/black metal sections have no happy moments, it just drowns you. Favorite track: The Compleated Sage.

about

Usnea Portland, Oregon

Usnea fuse elements of funeral and death doom, sludge metal, black metal, and esoteric drone. Oppressive tone and volume combine with lyrics searching for meaning in a world full of oppression, human hierarchy and bleakness and fueled by the anger and despondency that are it's by-product... perhaps in the liberation of negativity we are truly freed. ... more
