About the artist
Eight Bells
Eight Bells is a band that refuses to be pigeonholed. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, this trio is not your typical metal outfit. Led by the enigmatic Melynda Jackson, Eight Bells effortlessly blends elements of doom, shoegaze, and prog into a sound that is uniquely their own. With a background in classical music and a love for experimental sounds, Jackson's guitar work is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her ethereal vocals float effortlessly over the band's intricate compositions, creating an atmosphere that is both haunting and beautiful. But it's not just Jackson who shines in Eight Bells. Drummer Rae Amitay and bassist Brian Burke provide a solid foundation for the band's expansive sound, each adding their own flair to the mix. Their latest album, "Landless," is a sonic journey that takes listeners on a ride through swirling guitars, pounding drums, and ethereal vocals. Tracks like "Hating" and "Soma" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy riffs with delicate melodies, creating a sound that is as dynamic as it is captivating. In a sea of metal bands trying to outdo each other with technical prowess, Eight Bells stands out for their willingness to take risks and push boundaries. Whether they're delving into the darkest depths of doom or soaring to the heights of shoegaze bliss, Eight Bells is a band that is not afraid to explore new sonic territory. And for that, we salute them.
