Started writing/recording under the moniker Serpent Worship in 2016. First self-titled ep was released in November 2019. New 2 song ep. "Blood & Venom" just released 11/27/2020. Full length coming in 2021.
"Following up on last year's blasphemously heavy debut, one-man Washington doom project Serpent Worship delivers more sludgy, psychedelic darkness on epic two tracker Blood & Venom. Comprised of two six-plus minute instrumental tracks, Serpent Worship's scale remains epic while adding in even more psych flavoring. First track "Seep" creeps in with spooky Western vibes, and an intro of minimalistic guitar brings to mind the Dead Weather. The project's trademark low end isn't far behind, however, as the grimy, molasses-thick bass quakes forth. Crunching stoner riffage nods forwards with crashing drums, before a shift back to subdued strings and one final, massive Iommic riff. Second track "Drugged" is no less crushing as it rolls in on waves of stoner and doom. One welcome surprise is the vicious noise rock lick that cuts in, adding a nasty edge to the proceedings. The drums are pounding, crisp but ominous beneath somber keening guitar notes. The highlight of the track, however, is the organ at the end that fades everything out. You really feel like you have been drugged from some venom."
