In the Company of Serpents is a Denver-based duo that has carved a niche within the doom metal scene with their crushing riffs and brooding atmospheres. Formed in 2011 by Grant Netzorg and JJ Anselmi, the band has since undergone a lineup change, with Netzorg remaining the consistent member and the addition of drummer Ben Pitts. The band’s sound is characterized by a sludgy blend of heavy doom metal and dark, introspective lyricism, exploring themes of the human condition, esoterica, and existentialism.

Their discography showcases a dedication to developing their sound with each release. Their self-titled debut, "In the Company of Serpents" (2011), established their presence with its raw, visceral energy. As the band evolved, their subsequent releases such as "Merging in Light" (2014) and "Ain-Soph Aur" (2017) saw them incorporate more complexity both in structure and in thematic depth. With their 2020 release "Lux," In the Company of Serpents offered a more mature and expansive sound, cementing their place within the doom metal community as a force that is not afraid to push boundaries and dive into profound sonic territories. The band continues to be praised for their dynamic live performances, which capture the dark intensity of their studio work.
