Vitskär Süden is a doomy progressive, neo-psychedelic hard rock band from Los Angeles. A quartet, their lineup consists of bassist/vocalist Martin Garner, drummer Christopher Martin, and guitarists Julian Goldberger (also a film director) and TJ Webber. Their dense and trippy yet spacious nocturnal sound reveals influences across the spectrum of classic rock and metal, from Black Sabbath-ian doom riffs to King Crimson-esque Mellotrons and sonic effects, from Hawkwind's glorious cosmic cacophony to Roger Waters' and early Pink Floyd's iconic brand of theatrical space rock. Vitskär Süden's eponymous, self-released debut album appeared in 2020 to critical acclaim across the metal press in the U.S. and Europe. Their sophomore long-player, the concept album The Faceless King, was issued by Ripple Music in November 2022.
