Varaha - Passage For Lost Years [CD]

Chicago atmospheric dark metal ensemble Varaha's debut full length, A Passage for Lost Years was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Adam K. Stilson (Car Seat Headrest, Airiel) at Chicago's Decade Music Studios. Varaha play a dynamic brand of dark and somber doom/dark rock inspired metal. The band's palette is wide and varies from monolithic, heavily distorted guitars to elegiac and nostalgic arrangements. Their music is a cinematic dance between heavy riffing counterpointed by omnipresent melodies, as well as droned parts of despair, and evocative clean guitar arrangements.
