Pacific Northwest doom metal band Usnea are streaming their full-length Bathed In Light, which was released through Translation Loss Records of Philadelphia.
The album is a new phase for the band, as they embark on a journey that goes beyond the realms of music they have previously been to. Bathed In Light features six new tracks which showcase influences from death-rock and post-punk.

Vocalist and guitarist Justin Cory talks about the album:
“It has been a brutal six years making this record with one of our members developing a serious chronic illness, me breaking my wrist in a motorcycle wreck, and the impacts of a global pandemic. Our previous material was already inspired by the continued decline of our global society, but that has only accelerated since our last record, 2017’s ‘Portals Into Futility.’”
According to the press release:
“’Bathed In Light’ will be released on two limited edition vinyl variants (one variant sold out), CD, and across digital platforms. The album features brand-new and extraordinary artwork by Justin Cory of Usnea.”
