Doomstress' Debut Album 'Sleep Among the Dead' Streams via Metal Injection

• ""Doomstress set themselves up for a big moment of arrival with their full-length debut, and Sleep Among the Dead lives up to that and then some." - The Obelisk
• "Rising to dizzying heights only to come crashing down with the impetus of a mid-winter avalanche." - Metal Underground

Following three years of blistering live work and a pair of EPs that hinted at the band's greater potential, Texas' Doomstress is poised to release their much-anticipated debut album Sleep Among the Dead this Friday via Ripple Music for CD/Digital and DHU Records on limited edition vinyl.

Formed in 2016 by bassist/vocalist Alexis Hollada and guitarist Brandon Johnson, Doomstressconcentrated their proggier creative impulses from the epic-minded Project Armageddon to focus on, according to Indy Metal Vault, "a more somber atmosphere with concise songwriting to match."

Over the following three years, the band took a less than typical approach in focusing largely on touring and live appearances, hitting the road for 9 full tours and playing countless festivals across the country.

Audiences who witnessed their powerful live attack came to demand a full album to expand on the singles and EPs Doomstress periodically dropped while refining and intensifying their molten blend of retro, doom-laden melodic metal.

Now, at last, Sleep Among the Dead is ready to burst onto an anxious audience, who may be surprised to find nods to Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus and even Rush creeping in alongside the perhaps more expected shades of Holy Grove and Monolord-esque modern doom.

DOOMSTRESS - Sleep Among the Dead releases on May 10th, 2019 through DHU Records on vinyl and Ripple Music on CD and worldwide digital.
