Midwife, Ragana, Vyva Melinkolya, and Body Negative
Midwife is the project of New Mexico-based musician Madeline Johnston, who crafts reflective experimental pop music that she's coined "heaven metal." Sonically, her work is much different than the traditional metal genre—it's soft, lush, and at times, diaristic. However, her songs are also deeply cathartic and hypnotic, with metal-esque topics like pain, grief, and darkness. Johnston is bringing her Worship tour to Seattle alongside doom duo Ragana, slowcore artist Vyva Melinkolya, and experimental ambient project Body Negative.
