BARISHI

Barishi biography
Formed in 2010, BARISHI is an American progressive sludge trio based in Brattleboro, Vermont. Initially a quartet under the name ATLATL, the group changed their name to its current iteration in 2012 and independently released their self-titled debut in 2013. An EP would follow two years later, with their sophomore LP "Blood from the Lion's Mouth" released on Season of Mist in 2016. Their vocalist, Sascha SIMMS, would depart BARISHI the following year, leaving original members Jonathan KELLEY (bass), Dylan BLAKE (drums) and Graham BROOKS (guitars). BROOKS became lead vocalist, and the band's sound would take a leap forward in heaviness, with more pronounced elements of death and doom metal demonstrated on their third album, "Old Smoke" released in 2020.

BARISHI's style can be compared to INTER ARMA, INTRONAUT, MASTODON, RWAKE, KYLESA and BARONESS.
