Scythe of Azrael
Philadelphia's Scythe of Azrael have been crafting gothic metal since 2006, drawing on the genre's characteristic blend of heavy riffing, dark romantic atmosphere, and mournful melodic sensibility. Named for the Islamic angel of death, the band wraps its heavy architecture in layers of brooding imagery and melancholy that gives their music a distinctly sepulchral elegance. Two decades into their career, they remain one of the more dedicated gothic metal acts on the American East Coast.
