In case you don’t know, Usnea released one of my favorite albums of 2014. It came in a year I had already dubbed The Doom Revival™ and further cemented that idea. The album is relentless, uncompromisingly heavy and well composed. Now, the good folks of Usnea are joining forces with one of my favorite veteran bands, UFOMAMMUT, on their first North American tour. These shows are guaranteed to burn the hairs off your chin so head on below for the full dates!
