Black metal | Established 2014 | USA | Facebook
While death metal is a widespread genre in the United States, with U.S. death metal outfits ranking among the best worldwide, black metal on the other hand is something not commonly associated with the North American metal scene – something UADA is striving to change. Established in Portland in 2014, this act builds on the finest from the 90s second wave of black metal, while fusing this raw basis with haunting melodies (after all, the band name itself means “haunted” in Latin). Appearing live regularly from the get-go, the band soon gained a stable fandom throughout he northwestern Pacific region, and later cemented its standing with two full-lengths – “Devoid of Light” from 2016 and “Cult of a Dying Sun” from last year. These days, UADA is touring across Europe in the mighty company of Tribulation and Gaahls Wyrd, having visited Prague recently. If however you happened to miss their nocturnal rites or are wishing for a re-run, there is a solution – MetalGate Czech Death Fest 2019!
