These doom metal titans from Seattle are no strangers from our shores with a long-standing relationship with local booker U:Mack. “Our intention is not to be destructive. It’s nourishment”, they said in a recent Guardian interview. Founded by Stephen O’Malley and Greg Anderson, O’Malley describes playing with the band as “a hyper-peak moment, an ecstatic moment of being inside this energy field. It’s like jumping into the crater of a volcano – you’re in this chamber of magma.”
