An epic, yet endlessly gloomy atmosphere, vast soundscapes, soaring melodies

 WEEPING KIN is a project by musician Tom Ott from Amberg, Germany, setting out to create the most melancholic doom metal possible.

WEEPING KIN is inspired by bands like My Dying Bride, Mourning Beloveth and Swallow the Sun. The music incorporates heavy yet melodic dual guitars, slow, thundering rhythms and a mixture of sorrowful and melodious vocals. The songs, often long and complex in structure, show progressive tendencies, with tempo changes and different time signatures.

Founded in 2021, the first album "Gnawing" was released in December 2022 and is around 60 minutes long. The lyrics are personal, layered and often written in a stream of consciousness. The sophomore album "Waterbound", released around one year later, is an ambitious concept album, more heavy yet more melodic than the first one.
