Usnea

The dust has settled from our last show and I wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts. We are immeasurably grateful for an amazing crowd, friends, fans, and photos from . did an amazing job with the whole fest and every band were incredible.

We all have post-Usnea projects in the works and we will post about them here when the time comes. In the meantime, we still have pins, patches, LPs, and CDs at our bandcamp merch store if you or someone you know wants them.

Thank you for an incredible sendoff show Portland, and to all of our friends and fans out there we hope you all flourish and find community and resiliency in this dystopian world we all live in.

"Finally, it was time for Usnea’s swan song. The band, a cornerstone of Portland’s doom scene, gave a performance that was both celebratory and heartbreaking. Their sprawling compositions, filled with mournful melodies and crushing heaviness, served as a fitting farewell. The band played material from the entire discography. As their vocalist/guitarist Justin Cory put it, “We wanted to play a range of our favorite songs from our four albums.” A fully engaged crowd was visibly moved by the weight of the moment. Usnea’s final song, “Healing Through Death,” from the 2014 masterpiece Random Cosmic Violence, was a powerful sendoff, ending their decade-long journey on a high note."

Festival Review: Pyre Fest 2024 Is a New Beacon for Heaviness in Portland, OR The inaugural Pyre Fest took place in Portland, Oregon, in November, leaving a lasting impression on attendees and performers.

💀 Very stoked for these Portland and Seattle shows with Feral Season. We have been good friends and tour mates with Karl since his days in Occlith and CHRCH, and his newer project is one you won’t want to miss!

This will also our last time playing Seattle and second to last hometown performance—we hope to see you.
