SOM
Dark, heavy, and thoughtful, SOM craft songs of epic melancholy. Featuring members of Caspian, founding members of seminal Boston space rock outfit Constants, as well as Denver post-metal voyagers Adai, and former members of Caspian and Junius, SOM build thunderous rhythms that give drive and pulse to the fuzzed-out wall-of-synth-and-guitar- noise, complemented by memorable hooks and melodies in singer/guitarist Will Benoit’s somber, lamenting vocals. The band is known for seamlessly combining elements of shoegaze, post-metal, doom, and dream pop and are signed to Pelagic Records. They have released 2 full length LPs and are gearing up for the release of their 3rd LP "Let The Light In" due spring of 2025. RIYL: Deftones, Holy Fawn, Astronoid, Spotlights, Mew
