The album Random Cosmic Violence by Usnea was released by Relapse. This album is a powerful and atmospheric exploration of doom metal, showcasing the band's unique blend of crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and intense vocals.

From the opening track, listeners are immediately drawn into Usnea's dark and brooding soundscapes. The band effortlessly combines elements of black metal, sludge, and funeral doom to create a truly immersive sonic experience. The album is filled with heavy, distorted guitars that create a wall of sound, accompanied by thunderous drums and rumbling basslines that add depth and weight to the music.

One of the standout features of Random Cosmic Violence is the band's ability to seamlessly transition between moments of crushing heaviness and more atmospheric passages. The songs often build up tension through slow, droning sections before erupting into explosive bursts of aggression. This dynamic range keeps the listener engaged throughout the album.

The vocals on Random Cosmic Violence are equally impressive. The guttural growls perfectly complement the dark and foreboding atmosphere created by the music. The lyrics delve into themes of cosmic horror, existential dread, and humanity's insignificance in the face of an uncaring universe.

Overall, Random Cosmic Violence is a must-listen for fans of doom metal and anyone looking for an immersive musical journey. Usnea's ability to craft intricate compositions that balance heaviness with atmosphere sets them apart from other bands in the genre. With this album, they have solidified their place as one of the most exciting acts in contemporary doom metal.
