Pacific Northwest Psychedelic Doom Metal band Mother Crone has teamed up with Ghost Cult to share their new single, the title track from their upcoming release, Embrace The Death! The album is due for release in the spring of 2026, but you can enjoy a preview of the moody, sweet, and heavy sounds right now! Pulling together influences both from classic artists, but with a fresh sound, Mother Crone feels like a band we’ll be talking up for years to come. Turn this one up to 11, burn one, and jam out “Embrace The Death” right now!
The band comments:
“Embrace the Death is a reflection on loss, abuse, and abandonment. It is the acceptance of the things in life that we bare on our shoulders. The stories that have been collecting there and threatening to undo us with their collective wait. Coming to peace with the things in life that have haunted us for decades.”
Bio:
Formed in the Puget Sound area of Washington in 2013, Mother Crone are a band forged from diverse musical backgrounds, converging to create a sound that is as heavy as it is dynamic. Drawing on influences that stretch from the psychedelic depths of Pink Floyd, the classic heaviness of Black Sabbath, and the groove-driven attack of Pantera, to the progressive and atmospheric worlds of Bison B.C., Alcest, and Shrinebuilder, the band weave a progressive/post-metal tapestry that shifts seamlessly between doom, thrash, and groove.
The band introduced themselves with their debut album Awakening in 2015, followed by two years of extensive touring across the region. Life’s demands eventually forced the group to slow down, but Mother Crone have now returned revitalized and refocused, ready to deliver their most ambitious material yet.
With their forthcoming sophomore record Embrace the Death, Mother Crone push their sound to new extremes — heavier, darker, and more expansive. Backed by a refreshed lineup featuring Preston Wilson (bass), Charlie Romano (drums), Edoardo Curatolo (guitar), and Joe Frothingham (guitar/vocals), the band aim to raise the standards of energy and execution in the Seattle scene and beyond.
Embrace the Death signals not only a new chapter for Mother Crone, but a bold declaration of intent: the return of a band unafraid to blend atmosphere with aggression, melody with menace, and ambition with raw power.
