Death Parade, Black Ends, and Mariah Houston
Portland musician Laura Hopkins, formerly of Blackwater Holylight and Laura Palmer's Death Parade, has embarked on a new project—Death Parade lives in the space between weightless psychedelic folk and fuzzy doom metal. Their debut album, IT WAS WORTH IT TO LOVE, though it hurt so bad, dives into somber themes of heartache, grief, longing, and loss through fuzzed-out finger-picked guitars, dreamy synths, and pounding percussion. Death Parade will be joined by "gunk pop" trio Black Ends and singer-songwriter Mariah Houston.
