Ebony Pendant
Ebony Pendant is a two-person Seattle black metal project built on raw, icy riffing in the old Norwegian tradition — adrenaline first, melody a close second, with a melancholy that tips the songs toward genuinely tragic rather than just harsh. Their self-titled 2023 LP is the fullest version of that sound: full-length, vinyl-only, and considered one of the year's stronger American black metal records.
