“In the grey beginning of years, in the twilight of things that began…”

Portland, Oregon based one-man band Sacred Virtue conjures hypnotic offerings of blackened doom metal, infused with shamanic ambient soundscapes. The artist draws their inspiration from 19th century poetry and the lush Pacific Northwest landscapes.

Sacred Virtue’s debut EP is a hypnotic, droning offering of blackened doom metal. »The Hymn Of Man« draws its inspiration from the Algernon Charles Swinburne’s 19th century text of the same name.
