Cosmic Reaper

**Cosmic Reaper** is a doom metal quartet hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, known for their heavy, fuzz-drenched riffs and lysergic atmospheres. Since forming in the late 2010s, the band—Thad Collis (vocals/guitar), Dillon Prentice (bass), Garrett Garvey (drums), and Braxton Keller (guitar)—has carved a niche in the stoner-doom scene with their crushing sound, blending slow-burning grooves and cosmic horror themes. Their 2021 self-titled debut album, released via Heavy Psych Sounds, solidified their reputation for apocalyptic vibes and Sabbathian sludge, while tracks like "Hellion" and "Havana Affair" (a Ramones cover turned doom dirge) showcase their knack for balancing hooks with sheer sonic weight. Frequent collaborators on the doom circuit, they’ve appeared on splits like *Doom Sessions, Vol. VII* and earned nods for their sweaty live shows, where fog machines and ear-splitting distortion reign supreme.
