Blackwater Holylight

Blackwater Holylight is a Portland-based band that melts doom metal, psychedelic rock, and shoegaze into a hypnotic swirl of heavy, moody vibes. Formed in 2018 by bassist/vocalist Allison (Sunny) Faris, the group initially started as a personal songwriting outlet but quickly evolved into a collaborative force with shifting lineups and shared vocal duties. Their sound—equal parts fuzzed-out riffs, haunting harmonies, and atmospheric tension—feels like a cathartic walk through shadowy emotional landscapes. Albums like *Veils of Winter* (2019) and *Silence/Motion* (2021) showcase their knack for balancing crushing grooves with introspective melodies, earning them a spot touring with acts like King Woman and Monolord. Tracks like "Motorcycle" and "Delusional" highlight their signature blend of thunderous rhythms and ethereal vocals, making them a standout in the modern heavy music scene.
