King Woman
Blending drone, shoegaze, and doom metal with more ethereal influences, King Woman began as the solo project of Kristina Esfandiari before becoming a full-fledged band in 2017 with the release of Created in the Image of Suffering. Four years later the group returned with the dynamic Celestial Blues, which added elements of post-rock and grunge to their sonic arsenal.
Also known for her work with/as Miserable, Dalmatian, Sugar High, and NGHTCRWLR, Esfandiari founded King Woman in 2009, but her duties with her other bands meant that the project's first single, "Degrida/Sick Bed" -- which featured Tied to the Branches and Chasms' Jess Labrador as her backing band -- didn't appear until 2013. The following year's "Dove/Fond Affections" single was King Woman's final release as Esfandiari's solo project; by the time of 2015's Doubt EP, the group included drummer Joey Raygoza, bassist Peter Arensdorf, and guitarist Colin Gallagher. The band signed to Relapse Records in 2016, and released their debut album, the mystical and towering Created in the Image of Suffering, in early 2017. In 2021 they issued their hypnotic sophomore long-player Celestial Blues which, like its predecessor, drew on themes of trauma and religion inspired by Esfandiari's childhood with her charismatic Christian parents.
