WINDHAND (Richmond, Virginia, USA – Relapse Records / Forcefield Records)

Founded in 2009 in Richmond, Virginia, WINDHAND is a stoner, doom metal band made up of Aschiah Bogdan, Parker Chandler, Dorthia Cottrell, Garrett Morris, and Ryan Wolfe. They have been compared to Electric Wizard, Blood Ceremony, the Devil's Blood, and Black Sabbath. In March 2012, WINDHAND released their self-titled debut which quickly became an underground hit, selling out of multiple vinyl presses in a matter of months. It was recorded and mixed at the Dark Room by Garrett Morris and mastered at Slipped Disc Audio by Bill McElroy in 2011. After a steady touring schedule, the band collaborated with Richmond brethren Cough on a split entitled "Reflections of the Negative" due out on Relapse Records in April 2013. WINDHAND officially signed to Relapse Records in March 2013 and will release their highly anticipated sophomore debut later this fall. (RELAPSE.com) ::: Website ::: Facebook _

PILGRIM (Rhode Island, USA – Metal Blade)

The band formed in early 2010 and was built on the worship of "true doom metal". Krolg, the Slayer of Man (drums), Count Elric the Soothsayer (bass) and The Wizard (guitars and vocals) have set out on a holy PILGRIMage of domination through amplification. Tucked away high up in the US' New England coastline, you can find PILGRIM making their fabled PILGRIMages to New York City to showcase their mysterious songwriting for shadowy un-lit rooms of coked-out metal-heads. PILGRIM is a sonic documentation of the friendship of 3 young men inspired and awe-stricken by the dark sounds of traditional doom metal. Something sinister always seems to be following in their footsteps. Hear them soon, before it's too late … (METALBLADE.com) ::: Bandcamp ::: Facebook _

You can't put their sound in a box at all, but I will say that listening to them is like getting your head punched in by a mammoth fist. Raging aggressive Hardcore with harsh vocals that slows down from time to time … you can hear the Portland influence, but they are unique!"
