The notion of “heavy music” is continuing to expand of late, with many intrepid artists finding new ways to incorporate the power of traditional metal into new music, but without all of its trappings. Enter Portland, OR quartet BlackWater HolyLight to further swirl musical elements into a captivating hybrid of emotional intensity. Heavy psych riffs, gothic drama, folk-rock vibes, garage-sludge and soaring melodies all collide into a satisfying whole with as much contrast as the band’s name itself.
“I wanted to experiment with my own version of what felt ‘heavy’ both sonically and emotionally,” says founder and vocalist/bassist Allison Faris. “I also wanted a band in which vulnerability of any form could be celebrated.” BlackWater HolyLight - Faris, guitarist/vocalist Laura Hopkins, drummer Cat Hoch and synth player Sarah Mckenna - formed upon the breakup of Faris’ longtime band and she sought a fresh start. “In my last band I was the only female in a group of 6, so I wanted to see how my song writing and vulnerability could glow taking the drivers seat and working with women.”
The band’s self-titled debut begins with a simple, almost grunge-like riff as a chorus of voices introduce a melodic line in call-and-response until the band kicks in, slowly building into crescendo like a lost outtake from Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy. Elsewhere, “Sunrise” begins with a chorus-drenched post-punk groove until a sonic boom of heavily distorted guitar skree erupts out of nowhere. Nearly as suddenly, the song returns to its lulling core, subtly building the tension until it ruptures completely in a blast of noise. Likewise, “Carry Her” establishes a dark, sparse melody and distinctly thin sounding drums not far removed from early work of The Cure. However, BlackWater HolyLight’s penchant for surprise attack finds a sudden shift into a doom-like dirge, colored with eerie synth notes and pounding shards of fuzz. Throughout the album, their songs shirk traditional verse-chorus-verse structure in favor of fluid, serpentine compositions that move with commanding grace. The band expertly, yet subconsciously, incorporates hints of Chelsea Wolfe, Celebration, Captain Beefheart, The Raincoats, The Stooges, Pink Floyd, Jane’s Addiction and more to form their unique brand of dark’n’heavy transcendence.
BlackWater HolyLight was recorded by Cameron Speice at Gold Brick Studios and The Greenhouse, and with Eric Crespo at Touch Tourcher Recording in Portland. The album will be available on LP, CD and download April 6th, 2018 via RidingEasy Records.

This band made me change my 10th Wedding anniversary trip from New York to Psycho Smokeout in Los Angeles California. One on the best sets of live music in my life! Simply breath taken... I am so happy I got the chance to see them perform. Can't wait to see them again 😈🤘🖤🍻
Listened for ten minutes, insta-bought both albums from Bandcamp.
I just saw these lovely ladies open for All Them Witches at Trees in Dallas, they were awesome!
Pink floyd, the bangles, T-rex, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple.. the seventies are back!
Wow!,anyone one know about this band?,where has this band been my whole life?
for real dude, I got this on my recommended. I think because I like Blue Cheer and Randy Holden; among many other 60's, 70's, and 80's bands. The algorithms are getting impressive
Portland,land of the dirty hippie...come join us
This is such a great album. I love how the tracks flow seamlessly from one to another.
Every person I show this album to is blown away every time. First time I heard it I was hooked. Absolutely legendary!
The ladies are an essential part of this act. Great music indeed :)
@@robertcubinelli4961 I mean, considering the entire band is made up of females, that's obvious...
wow, like....doomgaze, alternative doom, or something in between. "Paranoia" sticks out the most to me!
Great stuff and the fuzz is excellent. So good.
Absolutely love this entire album, actually just ordered it on vinyl from you guys. But "Sunrise", in particular the part that starts at 21:28, hits SO HARD. Would love to hear more of that sound from these ladies!
Okay this record label is definitely on my radar. So much good stuff on this channel
I totally love this! Reminds me a lot of the Breeders rock on🤘🤘🤘
I really dig the dark vibe ... excellent !!
Killer fantastic vibes
They owned it last night at Baby G's!
Amazing live band. The crescendos are mindbending. Now with the new two guitarist lineup everything is much fatter and full of fuzz.
Who is new guitarist? In the band or just for touring?
She is in the band, her name is mikayla I believe, they sound awesome with the 2 guitars and the synth.
2 guitars...like windhand USED to have.....
alluring, elusive & pressurized: I like it
Tremendous album, some of the best new heavy psych I've heard.
Love that Snare tone!
Excelente disco,som bem viajante,vocal fantástico!

Too short!
A vinyl LP only has a capacity of 42 minutes. You are simply mistaken based on this precedent. I feel where you're coming from though; the CD format of the 90's spoiled us.
Fuck i love ketamine
