About this Event
ORYX is a Denver-based doom/sludge metal band comprised of Thomas Davis (vocals, guitars, synth), Abigail Davis (drums), and Joshua Kauffman (bass). ORYX is a monolithic force, characterized by thick, suffocating riffs, pulverizing drums, and vocals that seep into the listener's psyche like a toxic sludge.
Formed in 2012 by husband-and-wife duo, Thomas and Abigail Davis, ORYX has carved out a path of its own in the underground metal scene. Over the span of the previous decade, the band has seamlessly blended layers of blackened doom, atmospheric sludge, death metal, and black metal across four full length albums. Their intense performance has earned slots on countless US festivals, in addition to serving as direct support for notable acts like Electric Wizard, Candlemass, and Sleep. Each release has seen the band become more ambitious and refined in their unique brand of unrelenting sonic assault. As a two-piece, ORYX released its debut album, Widowmaker (2014), ORYX/Languish split LP (2016), and Stolen Absolution (2018). With the addition of a bassist in 2018, ORYX dove into a darker and heavier realm with the release of Born into Madness (2018) and Lamenting a Dead World (2021). Their latest offering and quintessential fourth studio album, Primordial Sky (2024) delivers the band’s pinnacle achievement thus far.
