ÚZKOST

Blackened and doomed death metal.

Bio:
Úzkost is a genre-blending nightmare from Pittsburgh, Pa that formed in 2010 under the name Slaves BC. With a slew of releases under their belt, the band spent the decade spiraling further into darkness with every new offering.

In 2020, the band has evolved their sound from what was once chaotic hardcore into a horrific and disorienting conglomeration of black metal, death metal, doom metal, and harsh noise. After a decade of shows, line-up changes, and musical exploration, Úzkost is poised to release their darkest material yet.

"LAIAB may very well be a divisive release, when all is said and done, and it may not be an easy listen even at the best of times, but it's undoubtedly a brutally rewarding, not to mention disturbingly compelling, album all the same, and one of my favorite discoveries of the year."

"It's a difficult album to listen to, but it's also the very rare sort of album that is going to change the listener on some level, so long as that listener approaches it with an open heart. And yes, I do realize what a strange thing that is to say about a black metal album, but Slaves BC (now Úzkost) are definitely not your typical black metal band."
