It lives within the boundaries of the style (with some blackening, but that’s not so abnormal), but does so with a unique putrefaction that makes it stand out above the rest.

Solar Temple is an absolute monster, a fantastic start for this new band, and another dark gem in the Transcending Obscurity list of releases.
The attack on The Weight of Being is poignant and powerful, both lyrically and sonically.
we asked Keshia some in-depth questions hoping to gain insights to her inner most musical life and influences. She gave us very brief, quite poignant answers, that ultimately leave us with further questions, like “does Kirk Hammett’s hair make him a femme influencer?”
We asked Shanda some moderately intrusive questions about her influences, inspiration and the burning question on everyone’s mind when they watch her belt out every Inaudible Darling song… what’s her favorite sea creature?
We asked Natalie some hard-hitting questions about the inspiration behind the mic, advice for fellow female metal musicians, and favorite dinosaur (spoiler alert – it screams… very loudly).
