Richmond, Virginia’s psychedelic doom band, WINDHAND, are set to release their second full-length album Soma via Relapse Records on September 17th. An album preview is available below.
After surging the DIY circuit with months of touring, their own IPA, a critically acclaimed self-titled release last year and a split with label-mates COUGH this year, WINDHAND have confirmed they’ll be taking the main stage at next year’s Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, The Netherlands on Saturday, April 12th.
On Soma, WINDHAND successfully make syrupy slow, downtuned doom hooky and anthemic. Propelled by singer Dorthia Cottrell’s beautifully haunting bellow, Windhand’s dual guitar attack sounds like the glorious misfit offspring of BLACK SABBATH and NIRVANA. The album was recorded and mixed by the band’s own Garrett Morris at The Darkroom and mastered by James Plotkin in their hometown.
Soma tracklisting:
1. Orchard
