Cough, an American doom metal band hailing from Richmond, Virginia, has been casting a shadow over the heavy music scene since their formation in 2005. The band's music is characterized by its overwhelming heaviness, slow tempos, and sludgy riffs combined with haunting atmospheres and despondent lyrics. With a style rooted in the traditions of doom and a penchant for psychedelic and stoner elements, Cough has carved out a distinctive niche within the metal community.

Their discography exhibits a steady maturation of their sound and an unyielding commitment to creating oppressive sonic landscapes. After releasing their debut album "Sigillum Luciferi" in 2008, Cough continued to deepen their impact on the doom metal genre with the critically acclaimed "Ritual Abuse" in 2010 and its Deluxe Version. Their most recent offering, "Still They Pray," released in 2016, saw them working with Electric Wizard's Jus Oborn as producer and marked a high point in their career. The album's blend of monstrous riffs, melodic interludes, and haunting clean vocals earned praise for its dynamic approach to the genre and cemented Cough's reputation as a leading force in modern doom metal.
