Sinister Sounds presents “Doomsday” at the IvyMON FEB 23RD—OMINESSTEMPLE OF THE FUZZ WITCHVESSELESTBD—7:00 pm doors / 7:30 pm showADV TIX AVAILABLE / $15 DOOR—IVY ROOM860 San Pablo Avenue, Albany • 21+—OMINESS—???? Gothicc Bruja Doom ????—Formed in late 2023 (formally known as Ruiness), OMINESS is a gothic bruja doom metal band emerging from the depths of the underground scene based out of Ohlone land, also known as Oakland, CA. OMINESS’ lyrics are threaded with themes of decolonization, feminist rage, queer and fat liberation - with Mexican Catholic undertones inspired by the singer’s upbringing; more, the struggles endured by organized religion and machismo. Latina feminine rage is poured through agonizing banshee wails and darkened sultress vocals. With sludgey, somber, gazey guitars, and a gargantuan rhythm section - the sounds of ominess magick will lure any creature out of the shadows.OMINESS holds inspirations from Hell, King Woman, Thou, Chrch, and more.TEMPLE OF THE FUZZ WITCH—Temple of the Fuzz Witch Forged in 2017, Temple of the Fuzz Witch conjures a heavy brew of Blackened Doom soaked in fuzz, filth, and fury. With riffs that crush and lyrics that haunt, this three-piece outfit channels the bleakness of a Michigan winter into a sound that’s raw, hypnotic, and wholly their own. For fans of the heavy, the haunted, and the hellbound.VESSELES—VESSELES (veh-sel-is) is a ritual in sound — the sonic embodiment of Valira, a demon composer reclaiming her identity through haunting orchestrations, serrated riffs, and searing vocals. Drawing power from The Beneath, a dominion forged by demons beneath the human world, VESSELES conjures music as invocation: a reckoning with identity, rage, and transformation. Formed in 2023, the band channels a raw, ritualistic energy that blurs the line between performance and possession. With the debut EP I Am A Demon (2024), Valira shares her journey from exile to embodiment — a path carved in defiance of silence, shaped by the fire of self-discovery. Joined by J Burial (vocals), Ron Graves (bass), and Nick Brown (drums), VESSELES summons a sound for those who live between worlds. This isn’t an escape. It’s a return.
