Ritual Cairn
Seattle's Ritual Cairn carve out a grim and deliberate space where black metal's cold malevolence meets doom's crushing pace, formed in 2020 in a city whose grey skies and rain-soaked winters suit the genre perfectly. Their name — a cairn being a mound of stones marking a sacred or funerary site — signals an interest in weight, memory, and place. The black/doom hybrid they work with rewards patience, building tension rather than releasing it.
