Grief Collector

Grief Collector is a Minneapolis-based doom metal band known for their heavy, emotional sound and experienced lineup. The band features vocalist Robert Lowe, who is recognized for his work with legendary doom bands like Candlemass and Solitude Aeturnus. Grief Collector began as more of a recording project initiated by drummer Brad Miller, who wanted to explore a sludgy, doom-driven sound with longtime collaborator Matt Johnson handling guitar and bass. Their music blends crushing riffs and deeply expressive vocals, capturing themes of darkness and despair, with their debut full-length album *En Delirium* released in 2021 marking a strong entry into the doom metal scene.

The collaboration between Miller, Johnson, and Lowe is central to Grief Collector’s identity, with each member bringing a wealth of experience and passion to the project. Their sound is rooted in classic doom metal traditions but infused with a modern, intense atmosphere that resonates with fans of the genre. Albums like *In Times of Woe* and *Knee Deep in Devils* showcase the band's ability to convey powerful emotions through moody, heavy music. Grief Collector continues to build on their reputation as a compelling force in the doom metal community, combining veteran musicianship with a fresh, impactful approach.
