Formed in 2012 and currently hailing from Hudson, NY, HUSH play a minimalistic and raw form of atmospheric doom metal that has been hailed as expansive and thematically complex while also producing sonic textures that bathe the listener in waves of crushing darkness. In a live setting, the band is known for its towers of amplifiers and kinetic performances that are uninterrupted by breaks between songs or audience interaction. In a live setting, the experience of the band’s music is often described as ritualistic, trancelike, and immersive. The band has produced two LPs (2014’s Unexist and 2018’s Untitled II) as well as a 12” EP (2016’s Nihil Unbound) and is poised to release their fourth effort on June 24, 2022, an LP titled The Pornography of Ruin. The record marks a shift in the bands sound that favors intense dynamic shifts, sorrowful and plaintive atmospherics, and forays into more experimental soundscapes. https://hushdoom.bandcamp.com
The brainchild of American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Thom Wasluck, Planning for Burial's gloomy experimental metal borrows from shoegaze, goth, and alt-rock as well as doom, drone, and black metal. A one-man band (both in the studio and live), Wasluck began operating under the pseudonym in 2005, releasing the first in a string of downcast LPs and splits pairing the ominous black shoegaze of Jesu with the doomy and obsessive industrial metal of Fragile-era Nine Inch Nails.
