Sourvein is a sludge/doom metal outfit that has fermented its sound in the depths of the underground metal scene since its formation in 1993. Hailing from Cape Fear, North Carolina, the band was established by vocalist T-Roy Medlin, whose guttural growls and Southern drawl give Sourvein its unique, gritty edge. Over the years, the band has had a revolving door of members, but T-Roy has remained the constant, guiding force behind their desolate and heavy musical journey. Their sound, characterized by down-tuned guitars, slow tempos, and swampy, dense atmospheres, has garnered a following among those who favor the sludgier side of metal.

The band's most recent offering, "Aquatic Occult," released in 2016, submerged listeners in murky, oceanic-themed doom, supported by prestigious collaborations with musicians from groups like Lamb of God and Corrosion of Conformity. Previous releases such as "Ocypuss," "Black Fangs," "Ghetto Angel," and their self-titled EP "Sourvein" have each contributed to building their discography with relentless, creeping riffs, and an aura of southern discomfort. Throughout a career marked by relentless touring, Sourvein has maintained a relentless commitment to its raw, uncompromising sound, ensuring that their music continues to ooze with the viscosity and weight of the tar-laden swamps from which they've emerged.
