Trees are a doom band from Portland, Oregon. They sound like a combination of Noothgrush and Khanate. Their debut album, Lights Bane (nothing to do with Dissection) consists of two songs. The first one is called “Nothing” and clocks in at just over fifteen minutes! There are moments of drone, squeals of amplifier feedback and blood-curling grunts scattered throughout the epic track. The ominously titled, “Black” is more of the same along with an almost, psychedelic quality wrapping the song together. If you listen with headphones, like I did and you should probably to, you can make out faint voices buried deep within the mix. This album is definitely not for everyone but its kult nature will definitely appeal to fans of the aforementioned bands.
