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
