Daxma - Unmarked Boxes (Purple & Black Merge with White Splatter Vinyl 2LP)

Weight and tenderness share the same space on Unmarked Boxes. Daxma bring the slow force of doom metal into contact with expansive post-rock atmospheres, setting heavy guitars against layered melodies rather than letting sheer volume tell the whole story. Inspired by the Rumi poem of the same name, the album explores grief and hope, finding room for light without brushing the darkness aside.

Based in Oakland, California, Daxma's recorded path includes The Nowhere of Shangri-La in 2016, The Head Which Becomes the Skull in 2017 and the Ruins Upon Ruins EP in 2019. Released in November 2021, Unmarked Boxes is their second album, developing that meeting point between doom's physical weight and post-rock's sense of scale. Ben Hirschfield handled production, engineering and mixing, with mastering by Brad Boatright. This limited purple and black merge edition with white splatter spreads the music across three sides, with a screen-printed fourth side.
