Wyrmhaven

Since their formation in 2018, Tucson’s Wyrmhaven have been a band defined by change and growth. That forward motion has seen them constantly refine their approach, and reach a level of confidence and maturity that many bands aspire to, and in a relatively short period of time. Since the beginning the band has focused on crafting a sound based in melodic death metal, but have been willing to experiment with musical elements drawn from other subgenres, such as progressive metal and metalcore. Early recordings reveal an affinity for the melody and velocity of the Black Dahlia Murder’s take on the Gothenburg sound. As the band has continued to evolve they have incorporated more complex and sophisticated sounds into their blueprint, creating sonic links to influences such as Gojira and Arsis. Seasons of Gloom is the band’s latest offering and their first full length record. Written during a time of significant loss and perseverance, the record shows the band’s ability to craft songs that evoke dark aggression as well as personal vulnerability. Still anchored by catchy and intentional songwriting, these new songs manage to reach further into the past and show a reverence to metalcore’s early days. With the release of Seasons of Gloom, Wyrmhaven sit poised to expand their domain in the metal world. Fans of melodic and heavy take note, after the Seasons of Gloom will come the seasons of triumph…
