BAND NAME: Gondolin GENRE: Black Ambient / Funeral Doom STATUS: Unknown LOCATION: USA   Angsar currently does not identify as Christian. Ethan does. I don't know if either of them plans to continue the band someday or not. I also don't know which member is which in the photos above. They say on last.fm that they're influenced by "Summoning, Agalloch, and Ahab". Based on the only song I can find by them ("Awakening to New Lands"), ... I guess? The song is basically like Summoning but without the guitars, and with a very, very sad/morose mood to it. [This page] says, "Lyrical concepts ..read more

Originally posted on [this side projects page]. Given its own page based on the new metal material. BAND NAME: Psychedelic Church GENRE: Noise/Ambient, Psychedelic Black Metal/Ambient STATUS: Active LOCATION: USA Formed in 2022. IMPORTANT NOTE: While Christian, this project is NOT intended for Christians.
