After a lengthy hiatus following their 2015 debut, they returned in early 2026 with their sophomore full-length album, Embrace the Death. The band's sound is characterized by a blend of heavy stoner riffs, atmospheric doom, and thrashy underpinnings, drawing inspiration from artists like Black Sabbath, Pantera, and Alcest.
SLOW GOAT
Slow Goat is a heavy psych and doom metal band from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2021. They are known for a sound that blends stoner rock, doom metal, and heavy psychedelia characterized by thick fuzz, searing melodies, and commanding, often "ethereal yet feral" vocals. The band's music is rooted in "gamy riffs cut from the flank of the Pacific Northwest". Their lyrics often explore dark, introspective themes.
