Reka

**Reka** is a Swedish post-metal/sludge band hailing from Stockholm, known for their crushing riffs, atmospheric textures, and introspective lyrical themes. Formed in 2005, the group has carved out a niche in the heavy music scene with releases like their trilogy of albums *I* (2012), *II* (2014), and *III* (2017), which blend raw aggression with hypnotic, slow-burning tension. Their later work, including *Dvala* (2019) and *Jupiter* (2020), leans further into expansive, moody soundscapes while retaining their signature heaviness. Reka’s collaborative spirit shines through splits with acts like **Black Everest** and **In the Hearts of Emperors**, showcasing their versatility within the doom and post-metal realms. Though details about individual members remain low-key, their music speaks loudly—a cathartic mix of existential dread and sonic weight that’s earned them a dedicated following among fans of cerebral, slow-motion devastation.
