With Windhand’s hard-hitting third full-length album Grief’s Infernal Flower, the group has cemented itself as one of the premier metal bands of our time. The music is palpable, heart-wrenching, personal – drawing inspiration from nature and the cycle of life. It conveys an irrepressible sense of motion even within the slowest of songs. The band’s sound is a modern testament to the power of doom and stoner metal’s legacies and you can hear it for yourself now, in full, via NPR’s First Listen before its release this Friday (September 18th).
Grief’s Infernal Flower can be ordered physically via Relapse and digitally via Bandcamp.
Windhand are teaming up with Relapse Records, Bloody Disgusting, MetalSucks and Grey Matter Art to give fans and artists the opportunity to create a movie poster design for their forthcoming Halloween-themed music video “Two Urns”. Taken from the band’s highly anticipated new album Grief’s Infernal Flower, the music video will be premiering just in time for Halloween. Fans are encouraged to submit their own original poster design for the video for a chance to win cash and prizes!
Video description: It’s Halloween, 1987. Four best friends are out trick-or-treating on their BMXs. Four older bullies in a muscle car have an appetite for something more sinister than candy.
