Winter

Winter emerged in late eighties New York and became a legendary force in the death doom underground. The band is known for its icy riffs, slow crushing tempos and bleak oppressive atmosphere.
Their music moves like a massive wall of cold heaviness and deep gloom. Although Winter released only a small number of recordings, their influence is enormous. The album Into Darkness is often cited as a landmark in extreme and atmospheric doom metal. Their sound blends harsh distortion with an apocalyptic sense of isolation. The raw production style enhances the frigid and suffocating mood of the music. Winter remains beloved for its combination of simplicity, weight and brooding darkness. Vinyl reissues helped introduce their legacy to a new generation of heavy music fans.

For collectors of slow monumental doom, Winter is an essential band to explore.
