Yellow Eyes is an influential force in the American black metal scene, known for crafting atmospheric and intricate compositions that balance raw intensity with melodic undertones. Founded by brothers Will and Sam Skarstad in Brooklyn, New York, the band emerged in 2010, quickly gaining attention in the underground with their distinctive fusion of harsh, naturalistic themes and a hauntingly grim aesthetic. Their music reflects a deep connection to the isolated landscapes of the U.S. Northeast, which has been a continuous source of inspiration for their lyrical and sonic narratives.

With a discography that exemplifies the evolution of their sound, Yellow Eyes has released a number of albums and EPs that have earned them a dedicated following among black metal enthusiasts. "Immersion Trench Reverie" and "Rare Field Ceiling," two of their most recent full-length albums, are especially noted for their immersive qualities, weaving together a tapestry of chilling screams, dense guitar work, and layers of ambient noise to create a mesmerizing listening experience. Their commitment to a DIY ethos, even as they’ve garnered international acclaim, underscores their dedication to the authenticity and raw passion that defines their corner of the genre. Hailed for their unparalleled atmospheric depth and the profound sense of place in their music, Yellow Eyes continue to push the boundaries of black metal with their innovative approach.
