Unapologetic Lifer for Rock and Roll
Uada grabbed me in 2016 with their first record, Devoid of Light, and hit even harder in 2018 with Cult of a Dying Sun. I'm stoked on the current crop of American bands that are taking up the sound of 2nd wave Scandinavian black metal and carrying it forward into the 21st century. These guys strike the perfect balance of aggression and darkness while incorporating a surprising amount of melody. The vocals are consistently unhinged and the drummer is killing it throughout.
