WINDHAND - Wintersun (Practice Space Demo 2010)

"I've been turned on to a lot of female-fronted doom bands lately, but none are more filthy and nearly as loud as WINDHAND from Richmond, Virginia. The vocals of Dorthia Cottrell have a very Devil's Blood-y feel to them, almost like Glen Danzig if he were a woman. The guitars (and probably the bass as well) are so drenched in fuzz that you can't even make out the white noise associated with heavy distortion. I guess we can thank those RAT Pedals for that. The riffs are real sludgy and southern, and them being from Virginia kinda helps that. All in all, a band worth listening to. Female singers in doom are just mysterious and way more convincing...if done right. These guys and gal definitely do it right."

This version is a lot better than the one on the studioalbum. Less "fluff" and more "real" and gritty IMO.

[@jeffmiller4382]

Kyrre Bjurling Yes, sadly. Their studio album was disappointing :(

[@crustycakes]

This is gonna be the new Electric Wizard. Can't wait to hear more from them.

[@spaghettGREATJOB]

I would say your prediction held up, 8 years later : )

[@alex.fleshripper]

@@spaghettGREATJOB quality wise? Yes, surely. These dudes are up to par or close to electric wizard imo but talking about views and followers and such, no, they aren t close to electric wizard

[@russiangoose7053]

@@alex.fleshripper they deserve to be as popular, they're amazing. So heavy and dark and gritty, yet beautiful and haunting at the same time.

[@90bgDuka]

Windhand kicks ass!

[@AnUnhingedMind]

I love how the vocals are a bit more aggressive and have a bit of that roughness that you'd hear from Jus Oborn or Danzig.

[@SATANICODEMONICUS666]

WONDERFULLY SKUZZY AND DELICIOUS AS FUCK///

[@C1TYF1GHTS]

@Herrjames1 you would most likely like acid king too then.

[@porkyphig]

Thanks for posting. I like your description and you know Devil's Blood so obviously you have good taste : ) I'm curious though, how did you get these demo's?

[@C1TYF1GHTS]

I got them from their bandcamp when they first put out their demo years ago.

[@crustycakes]

@iTriedVoodooOnce I'm so jealous! I've seen Tragedy once and they were amazing, I think the awesomeness would be to much if it were combined with Windhand.

[@doombaby9327]

My favorite is Acid King!
