Holy Fawn | Triple Crown Records
Metal band Holy Fawn bring us their second studio album, Dimensional Bleed. The band themselves stated that they were covering “uncharted territory,” with their latest offering, which shifts sideways and requires some patience. While still rooted in black metal and sludge metal, Dimensional Bleed also incorporates elements of electronic music, with dream-like sequences and heart-wrenching melodies.
