Amarok

***AMAROK is an epic doom & black metal project based in Northern California that combines the sustained drones and extended rhythms of doom metal with the intricate melodic passages, layered guitar harmonies, and blast beats of black metal. AMAROK takes their name from the giant wolf cryptid of Inuit mythology, a creature capable of ripping a person’s soul from their body, symbolizing their powerful wall-of-sound aesthetic and signaling the band’s connection to the primal forces of nature. With driving double bass sections, slow crushing riffs, and mesmerizing guitar harmonies, Resilience is AMAROK’s most atmospheric and conceptual album to date. Known for weaving symbols of the natural world into their lyrics, AMAROK pays homage on this album to the deadly fires near the band’s home in Northern California, as well other personal tragedies. Resilience serves as a reminder that just as nature regenerates after the earth has been scorched, humans have the same transformational capacity. Previous split release with Hell.
