Portland, Oregon's meditative doom seekers Breath have found a new home with Italy's Argonauta Records. Their sound is a cultivated vehicle of stillness, riding the churning white water of doom metal flow. Beginning with a solid foundation of bass and drums, the duo is joined by keys and guitar, with collaborator Rob Wrong of Witch Mountain engineering the project, ushering in a new dawn of verdant growth.
Known for its immersive and transcendent take on doom metal, Breath crafts a sound that merges meditative stillness with crushing sonic waves, drawing inspiration from bands like Earth, OM, Grails, and the timeless influence of Black Sabbath and Ravi Shankar.
Founded by childhood friends Steven O'Kelly and Ian Caton, Breath evolved from years of collaboration as an inseparable rhythm section.
Breath's debut album, Primeval Transmissions, was released in 2021 via Desert Records. With an expansive musical vision that blends high-decibel doom, hypnotic Eastern influences, and dynamic rhythmic textures, Breath has continued to evolve, incorporating Lauren Hatch on keys in 2023 and Justin Acevedo on guitar in 2024.
As the band embarks on the next chapter of its journey with Argonauta Records, Breath is ready to bring its unique sonic meditations to a global audience. Stay tuned for more details on its upcoming releases! Link
