Eternal Black

**Eternal Black** is a New York-based doom metal trio known for their bone-crushing riffs, thunderous rhythms, and unapologetically raw sound. Formed in 2015, the band—comprised of Joe Wood (guitar/vocals), Hal Miller (bass), and Kenny Hiter (drums)—carves out a niche with their slow-burn, sludge-infused tracks that revel in themes of despair, existential dread, and apocalyptic vibes. Often compared to icons like Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus, Eternal Black channels classic doom while injecting a gritty modern edge, earning them a dedicated following in the underground metal scene.

Their 2017 debut album, *Bleed the Days*, solidified their reputation as purveyors of heavy, hypnotic doom, with tracks like "Slow Burn Suicide" and "Dead at WFMU" showcasing their knack for pairing lumbering grooves with Wood’s haunting vocals. Though they keep a relatively low profile, Eternal Black’s live shows are legendary for their visceral intensity, making them a must-see for fans of unrelenting, smoke-filled doom metal.
