DEPLETED: Remains Cassette

Portland, Oregon has a certain relationship with slow, heavy, and punishing music that makes complete sense if you've ever spent a winter there. Depleted fit that geography like a burial shroud, and Remains is funeral doom metal that commits fully to the weight of the thing.

Funeral doom is a patience test, and Depleted know exactly how to use that. The death metal edge stops this from becoming ambient wallpaper, there's genuine menace running through Remains that keeps it from drifting into genre exercise. If you're the kind of listener who considers Esoteric or Mournful Congregation essential listening, or who thinks most doom doesn't go nearly slow or dark enough, this cassette is going to work hard for you.

Format: cassette. Artist origin: Portland, Oregon, USA. Genre: funeral doom metal, death metal. Released 2025.

Fans of: Esoteric, Mournful Congregation, Evoken, Skepticism.
