Subrosa

For This We Fought The Battle Of Ages

Profound Lore

***BACK IN STOCK!!!  Salt Lake City’s Subrosa are one of America’s most singular and important doom / chamber-metal bands. Their 2013 breakthrough album More Constant Than The Gods garnered the five-piece (including two electric violinists) acclaim from Pitchfork, NPR, Decibel Magazine, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly, to name just a few. In the wake of that album, they toured with bands such as Boris, Deafheaven, and Cult Of Luna, also playing prominent festivals like Roadburn, Hellfest, Southwest Terror Fest, along with many others. With this latest album, Subrosa has crafted their most triumphant and biggest release to date. For This We Fought The Battle Of Ages is their masterpiece and establishes them as one of the most important American heavy metal bands today.

More Constant Than The Gods

Profound Lore

***BACK IN STOCK!!!  Received an 8.3 rating from Pitchfork.  Since their formation in the summer of 2005, Subrosa has been recognized as one of the more unique bands in the doom / rock genre. Underpinned by a monolithically heavy rhythm section and featuring two electric violinists and the enchanting vocals of Rebecca Vernon, the Salt Lake City-based group garnered widespread critical acclaim in 2011 for their third album (and Profound Lore debut) No Help for the Mighty Ones, a powerful mix of Kyuss, Sleep, L7 and PJ Harvey as well as folk, neoclassical and chamber music influences. With their newest full-length, Subrosa presents their most accomplished and enrapturing work yet, one that shall bring the band even more accolades. More Constant Than the Gods continues in the vein of its predecessor while improving upon the aspects that landed that release on so many “Best of 2011” lists (Decibel, Pitchfork’s “Show No Mercy” column, etc.). The meticulously composed and beautifully structured album is not only the best-sounding Subrosa recording yet, it’s also the heaviest. Destined to be one of the most lauded doom metal / rock releases of 2013, More Constant Than the Gods will earn Subrosa a place alongside Royal Thunder, Kylesa and Witch Mountain as one of the most prominent bands of the genre.

No Help For The Mighty Ones

Profound Lore

Female-lead Salt Lake City band Subrosa began in the summer of 2005, playing doom rock with supernatural down-tuned guitar and low-end bass, the dark air of two eerie violins, thunderous raw percussion and black magick vocals. Imagine a diabolical and haunting mix of PJ Harvey, Kyuss, L7 and Coven filtered through the ghostly vibes of American gothic tragedy.  No Help for the Mighty Ones is Subrosa’s third album, mixed and mastered by Marduk bass player Magnus Devo Andersson at his Endarker Studios in Sweden. Easily their heaviest, darkest, and most oppressive sounding work to date, it easily eclipses both their self-released 2006 debut The Worm Has Turned and 2008’s Strega (released by respected Swedish doom metal label I Hate Records). With the American doom metal / rock scene currently gaining recognition, Subrosa is poised to slither their way among the best of them—Jex Thoth, YOB, Witch Mountain, Amber Asylum, Worm Ouroboros and The Gates of Slumber.
