Velnias is from Naperville, Illinois and the band is described as a blackened folk/doom band and while that is an accurate description, it doesn't truly summarize what's going on here. The band's sound relies on a cross between Isis-ian post-metalry, Agalloch's serene acoustic soundscapes and post-Mardraum Enslaved's aural maelstrom. This reminds me of so many bands and albums but the music itself, for the most part, is very original and you could not pigeon-hole this band with any band or genre mentioned in this paragraph.
