Longhouse

**Longhouse** is a Canadian doom/sludge metal trio hailing from Ontario, serving up heavy riffs and existential vibes since their formation in 2015. Known for blending crushing doom metal with post-metal atmosphere and Indigenous themes, the band features J. Brahaney’s guttural vocals and bass grooves, M. Pageau’s tectonic guitar work, and I. Rousseau’s thunderous drumming. Their sound—a mix of primal energy and meditative pacing—has earned them a loyal following in the underground metal scene.

Their discography, including releases like *II: Vanishing* (2020) and the Algonquin language-infused *III: Nìjwàswe* (2023), explores themes of nature, impermanence, and human struggle. Tracks from *Earth from Water* (2017) to their latest work showcase their knack for weaving storytelling into sludgy, hypnotic soundscapes. Longhouse’s live shows are just as raw and immersive as their recordings, making them a standout act for fans of bands like Neurosis or Conan.
