Leviathan

Black metal
Black metalDark ambient

Leviathan is a Black metal and Dark ambient act. Their sound grew out of The Funeral of Being and Xasthur. Those roots explain a lot about how Leviathan arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Deathspell Omega, Paysage D'Hiver, Gris, Blut Aus Nord and Satanic Warmaster, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Sunn O))), Deafheaven and Twilight, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 16 connections around Leviathan, reaching back through The Funeral of Being and forward to Sunn O))).
