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.
Mother Crone is:
Joe Frothingham – Guitar, Vocals
Edoardo Curatolo – Guitar
Preston Wilson – Bass
Charlie Romano – Drums
FFO: Baroness, Bison B.C., Earthship, Behold! The Monolith
