Subrosa Subrosa
a Stoner Rock, Sludge Metal band from Salt Lake City, UT, USA   flag

official  myspace  
Last Update: November 07, 2009

info

This is quite the oddity, for several reasons, what with the interesting band name and odd album title, and, really, how many bands can be described as "all-female sludgey stoner-doom from Utah"? So, yes, this is a bit different, with clear nods to bands such as Kyuss but with a darker, moodier bent, heightened by the mournful, PJ Harvey-like vocals. It doesn't all work, as some of the experimentations don't quite hit the mark, but at times ("Black Joan" and the title track, to name two favorites) they hit just the right chord of psychedelic stoner doomy heaviness. Strega isn't bad by any means, but with another album under their belts they could really develop into something special.

Recent album: (EP) Trapped In Ice, released September 2009.
