Mare

Isolation, desolation, despair, terrifying wails, Toronto, ON’s Mare deliver their slow, sludgy doom with a previously unheard in the sub-genre level of artistry and a mindset for experimentation. Comfortably at home on Hydra Head’s always forward-looking roster and fronted by former the End throat-shredder Tyler Semrick-Palmateer, amidst Mare’s earth-shaking obliteration can be found choral singing arrangements, ominous jazzy moments, and clean, dark crooning that stands in stark contrast to Palmateer’s ear-piercing, banshee-like vocal exorcisms.
