Origin: Vantaa, Finland  
Genres: Melodic Death Metal

Counting Hours

Formed in 2015, Counting Hours features a former and a current guitarist from Rapture (though current may not be accurate, as Rapture hasn't recorded in 20 years and is listed as on hold), with a debut coming out in 2020 and the followup, The Wishing Tomb, in 2024. The style here mixes melodic death metal with some doomdeath and a touch of goth rock, so Rapture themselves is a starting point for comparison, but also early Katatonia and somber/melancholic Scandinavian semi-doom bands like Dawn Of Solace.
