Weeping Sores - The Convalescence Agonies (FULL ALBUM)

The American death metal and doom metal band Weeping Sores, formed in New York in 2016, is known for its sound that combines the brutality of death metal with the slowness and melancholy of doom metal, incorporating elements of funeral doom and unique atmospheres with the use of violin by Gina Eygenhuysen. With albums such as False Confession (2019), the band presents heavy riffs, guttural vocals, melodic passages and an aesthetic that balances aggression and emotional despair. Below, I present an analysis of the bands that likely share similarities with Weeping Sores, focusing on American and international bands, considering their style of death/doom metal with experimental touches.

American bands
Novembers Doom: From Chicago (The Pale Haunt Departure, 2005), Novembers Doom mixes death/doom with emotive melodies and varied vocals. If Weeping Sores focus on heaviness and melancholy, Novembers Doom is a central reference.

Evoken: From Lyndhurst, New Jersey (Antithesis of Light, 2005), Evoken is a pioneer of funeral doom with death/doom influences, known for oppressive atmospheres. If Weeping Sores explore extreme slowness, Evoken is similar.

Woccon: From North Carolina (Solace in Decay, 2014), Woccon combines death/doom with melodic and atmospheric elements. If Weeping Sores have melodic passages, Woccon is a valid comparison.

Morgion: From California (Among Majestic Ruin, 1997), Morgion mixes death/doom with ethereal atmospheres. If Weeping Sores incorporates experimental elements, Morgion is a reference.

International bands
Paradise Lost: From the United Kingdom (Gothic, 1991), Paradise Lost is one of the founders of death/doom, with heavy riffs and gothic melodies. If Weeping Sores has a classic vibe, Paradise Lost is a key influence.

My Dying Bride: From the United Kingdom (Turn Loose the Swans, 1993), My Dying Bride combines death/doom with tragic atmospheres and the use of violin. If Weeping Sores explores the violin, it is similar.

Katatonia: From Sweden (Brave Murder Day, 1996), Katatonia defines melodic death/doom with depressive riffs. If Weeping Sores focus on melodies, Katatonia is a solid comparison.

Swallow the Sun: From Finland (The Morning Never Came, 2003), Swallow the Sun mixes death/doom with melodic and atmospheric elements. If Weeping Sores has a symphonic feel, it is a reference.

Anathema: From the UK (The Silent Enigma, 1995), Anathema, in its early phase, explored death/doom with emotional melodies. If Weeping Sores has delicate passages, Anathema is an influence.

Shared characteristics
Melodic death/doom: Weeping Sores combines aggressive death metal riffs with slow tempos and doom melodies, similar to Katatonia, Paradise Lost and Novembers Doom.

Use of violin: Gina Eygenhuysen's violin creates unique atmospheres, as in My Dying Bride and, to a lesser extent, Anathema.

Funereal atmosphere: The aesthetic of funeral doom, with slow and oppressive passages, aligns the band with Evoken and Swallow the Sun.

Death metal roots: Influences of Autopsy and Morbid Angel, with thrashy riffs and guttural vocals, connect Weeping Sores to Morgion and Woccon.

Experimentation: The progressive and non-cliché approach, with elements such as violin and dynamic structures, reflects the innovation of Anathema.
