Psalm is an up-and-coming Las Vegas doom metal band formed in 2020, during the Covid pandemic in the depths of the San Fernando Valley. Evolving from the old school doom of yore into the modern age, the three-piece concoct a vicious blend of heavy, groovy, and a bit of speed to craft the Psalm sound.

Recently having the opportunity of being featured in Weedian’s 2024 »Trip to California (Doom Edition)« compilation, and recruiting new members Carlos Martinez and Ian Henneforth (Sonolith), a bright future for Psalm glimmers from the shadows. Heralding the new era is sophomore EP »In Darkness… Have Mercy«, to be released July 15th.

In the band’s own words:

“After four years and a couple of grueling months of preparations, it is finally time to welcome Psalm’s new EP »In Darkness… Have Mercy«. These tracks are nothing short of heavy and are ever-evolving, and with this EP we’d like to introduce a new lineup to take you through a soul-crushing journey that you won’t forget. With Carlos Martinez on guitar and Ian Henneforth on drums, we aim to conjure a full wall of sound made of earth- shaking guitars, low metallic bass, and atomic, pounding drums. As part of gearing up to lay the tracks down, we had a very adrenaline-driven show opening for Pentagram at the famous Whisky a Go Go to get the juices flowing for what was next to come. The show’s energy and vibes carried into our recording, and thus »In Darkness… Have Mercy« was born.”
