Las Cruces

Las Cruces is a doom metal band hailing from San Antonio, Texas, formed in 1994 by George Trevino after the breakup of his previous bands Sound Asylum and Legion. Known for their heavy, slow, and gritty sound, Las Cruces draws significant influence from seminal American doom bands like Saint Vitus and The Obsessed. Over the years, the band has released a steady stream of albums including *S.O.L.* (1996), *Ringmaster* (1998), *Dusk* (2010), and *Cosmic Tears* (2022), maintaining a strong presence in the underground doom metal scene.

The lineup has evolved but typically features George Trevino alongside members such as Mando Tovar, Jimmy Bell, and Jason Kane. Las Cruces has managed to retain their signature heavy and atmospheric sound for nearly three decades, appealing to fans of traditional doom metal with a raw and authentic approach. Their discography also includes notable singles and EPs, and they continue to influence and contribute to the genre with their dark, brooding music.
