Hear Doom Stalwarts Windhand Go Grunge on Moody New Song "Grey Garden"

Virginia band reveal sprawling first single off long-awaited forth album 'Eternal Return'

Virginia doom-metal group Windhand have announced a new album, Eternal Return, due out October 5th via Relapse. As with the band's previous full-length, 2015's Grief's Infernal Flower, it was produced by revered grunge board-wizard Jack Endino — known for his work with Nirvana, Soundgarden, Hole and others — and finds the band taking a smooth, tempered approach to shadowplay, landing somewhere between Black Sabbath and Bleach on its first single "Gray Garden," revealed in tandem with the album announcement. A smoldering marvel, it enchants through the usual trickery: spindly riffs, hazy feedback and, most insidious of all, Dorthia Cottrell's anguished, smoke-shrouded vocals.

Pre-orders for the doomsayers' Eternal Return are available now via Relapse. Check out the album artwork and track listing below, plus their upcoming tour dates with Satan's Satyrs (alongside whom Windhand released a split 7-inch earlier in 2018).
