Black Sheep Wall

Black Sheep Wall is a sludge metal/doomgaze collective known for their bone-crushing soundscapes and existential lyricism, formed in California around 2008. These sonic architects blend glacial-paced riffs, feedback-drenched atmosphere, and harrowing vocal deliveries to create music that feels like staring into the void (but in a cathartic way). Their discography – including *I Am God Songs* (2015) and *Songs for the Enamel Queen* (2022) – showcases their penchant for marathon-length tracks exploring themes of despair, addiction, and cosmic insignificance. The band’s lineup has shifted over the years, with guitarist/vocalist Brandon Gillichbauer being a consistent force. After a hiatus post-2016, they roared back with renewed intensity, proving their ability to turn personal and collective anguish into art that leaves listeners equal parts devastated and awestruck.
