Dying Giant

**Dying Giant** is a Portland, Oregon-based post-metal trio known for blending crushing riffs with haunting atmospherics. Formed in 2018, the band—vocalist/guitarist Jake Morrow, bassist/synth wizard Lila Chen, and drummer Marcus Reed—has carved out a niche with their emotionally charged soundscapes. Their debut EP, *The Waking Sleep* (2019), and first full-length album, *Monoliths* (2022), solidified their reputation for tackling heavy themes like mental health struggles and societal decay through raw, cinematic music. Recent tracks like "Sandcastles," "Cannibals," and the two-part epic "Glass Ceiling / Osmosis" showcase their knack for shifting between delicate melodies and earth-shaking crescendos, while "Woe" leans into their sludge-metal roots with gnarly, feedback-drenched grit.

Dying Giant’s DIY ethos and intense live shows have earned them a dedicated following, landing them tours with acts like Rosetta and Cult of Luna. Though they keep their personal lives low-key, their music speaks volumes—think of them as your cathartic soundtrack for staring down existential dread.
