About the Artist

UADA are a Portland, Oregon black metal band whose sound draws on the melodic, riff-driven tradition of Scandinavian second-wave black metal — cold, layered guitar work over blasting drums and rawer-edged production. They've built a following of around 89K Spotify listeners since forming in 2014, with albums like Devoid of Light and Cult of a Dying Sun earning them a foothold in the underground metal circuit internationally. Their live show is rooted in the material rather than spectacle, which suits the music's relentless, atmospheric density.
