Doomed Confessionary: Misha (Rosary)
Rosary is a three-piece traditional doom metal band from Warsaw, Poland. Founded in 2017, the line-up has changed over the years and around 2020/2021 they have become a power trio: Misha (vocals, guitars), Marty (drums) and Matthew (bass).
In this line-up they recorded their first release »Telestai«, released by Nine Records in 2022, which consists 5 songs in the vein of orthodox doom metal filled with piercing riffs, gurgling bass, original drums and lamenting vocals, that is all that is most important in this music.
Four years later Rosary are back with their second full-length album »The Broken Sacrament«, released on January 24th, 2025 via Nine Records. The album contains nine songs full of pain and despair with catchy riffs, heavy crushing sound and haunting vocals. Rosary continues to stand as one of the leading lights of Poland’s traditional doom metal scene and »The Broken Sacrament« is poised to further cement their place in the doom metal scene. Keep the Flag of Doom high!
