SubRosa was an American doom metal band. One of the few female-led doom metal or sludge metal bands, its sound featured folk elements and many layers to evoke walls of sound.[1] The band was critically lauded during its 13-year run, with multiple albums being listed in the year-end lists of various publications.[2]

History

[edit]

The band was founded with the demo The Worm Has Turned, then featuring only lead vocalist Rebecca Vernon and violinist Sarah Pendleton. Kim Pack joined as an additional violinist in 2008, and Andy Patterson joined the band as drummer in 2012.[3]

After 13 years, SubRosa disbanded in 2019.[4] Four members founded a new band, The Otolith.[5] Rebecca Vernon began a solo music project called The Keening, which released its first album in October 2023.[6]
