Next up on Levitation Sessions - Windhand! The Richmond, VA based quartet has quickly risen to the top of the heavy rock music scene, with their genre-defying take on doom and psychedelia. Perhaps the perfect soundtrack to these dystopian times.

Windhand’s show premieres at 7PM CT on November 14!

“It was great to get together with the band after so many months apart, to plug in all the gear and let the demons loose once again. For a moment there it almost felt like being back on the road. We got to work with our old friends like Jonathan Kassalow (lighting and organ), and frequent music video collaborator Jordan Vance. They pulled it all together and made the show a heavy visual experience to pair with the audio which was recorded and mixed by our live sound engineer, Chris Moore. We look forward to seeing you on the road sometime soon at a real show, but this is as close as we'll get for now. Hope y'all enjoy.”
-- Dorthia, Garrett, Parker and Ryan

Windhand is one of the key artists in the resurgence of heavy music, and in a scene teeming with great bands inspired by Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Sleep and Electric Wizard, Windhand stands apart due to their mastery of the craft and the stunning vocals of singer Dorthia Cottrell.

“The Richmond doom-metal quintet strips away the excess, honing in on a grunge and psych-rock core and letting Dorthia Cottrell shine as an extraordinarily compelling singer and bandleader” — PITCHFORK

“…seethes and crawls like magma, with singer Dorthia Cottrell blazing the way through a craggy, psychedelic wasteland.” — ROLLING STONE

“Windhand has become the touchstone band for heavy music” — CONSEQUENCE OF SOUND

“Windhand is among the genre's reigning bands in part because frontwoman Dorthia Cottrell's voice embodies all the rich, velvety and earthy qualities of a perfectly overdriven amp” — NPR

“…distinctive blend of otherworldly psychedelic doom and bleakly beautiful vocals” — REVOLVER

In addition to tickets to the streaming show, you can grab an audio download of the session, + limited edition cassettes and t-shirts with art by David V D'Andrea, available exclusively as part of the stream. You can also grab a package that includes all that plus a copy of the band’s latest 2x LP, Eternal Return, signed by the band.
