Lesser-known PNW metal bands
Here’s some lesser-known PNW metal bands that I’ve enjoyed seeing live at some point
Kadabra
- Fuzzy psych rock from Spokane.
- Recommended track: Bean King
- Other tracks I like: The Devil, Settle Me
Sorcia
- Stoner/doom metal from Seattle
- Recommended track: Coffin Nails
The band lit incense before their set, which did a lot for the vibe. I remember there being a lot of Sunn Model T amps.
Elk Witch
- Nature-centered doom metal band from Medford (Southern Oregon)
- Recommended track: Llao’s Island
Xoth
- Lovecraftian sci-fi death metal from Seattle
- Recommended track: Casting the Sigil
- Other tracks I like: Invasion of the Tentacube, Antediluvian Annihilation, Back to the Jungle
The bassist is crazy and plays literally everything with the side of his thumb.
Oxygen Destroyer
- Kaiju-themed death metal from Seattle
