Prepare for Whiplash, Here Is Windhand's Latest Doom Metal Must Hear "Two Urns"

Richmond's favorite sons & daughter prepare for a fall on the road and a new album with this monster doom burner.

With a title like “Two Urns,” you know what you’re getting into with the new single by doom metal quintet Windhand. The subtle (maybe even comforting?) sounds of a crackling fireplace give way to a barn burner of a track, featuring eight minutes of sludge guitar so heavy it could shake the mortar from between bricks. Prepare yourself for both guitar solos and the heart-wrenching vocals of Dorothia Cottrell, a pairing that will make you wonder what poor souls inhabit those two urns that sit on the mantle, and what bone-chilling tales of terror they would tell.
