Brown Jenkins

**Brown Jenkins** was a mysterious one-person black/doom metal project active in the late 2000s, helmed by Texas-based musician Vaedis (also known as Vaedis Michael). Named after a creepy rat-like creature from H.P. Lovecraft’s fiction, the project blended raw, hypnotic riffs with nightmarish atmospheres, drawing heavily from Lovecraftian horror and existential dread. Their discography, though brief, left a mark on underground metal with releases like *Angel Eyes* (2008) and *Death Obsession* (2008), which featured lo-fi production and unsettling lyrical themes. Vaedis maintained a cryptic persona, letting the music’s bleak, otherworldly vibes speak for itself before quietly ending the project. Brown Jenkins remains a cult favorite for fans of experimental, mood-driven extreme metal.
