This 2025 album is a collection of stoner doom metal with some grunge and '90s alt-rock influences, providing a fresh and uniquely interesting approach that carries the distinct sound of Sea of Snakes. This formula has been developed throughout their existence, and now they are directing their focus toward a louder, heavier sound with this album.
About the album, Jason says: "The first album “The Serpent and the Lamb” was about being loud and free in our music, but we now embrace our true identity as a doom band. The new album “Bow to No One” is booming, fuzz-laden, and featuring sludgy guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and powerfully grungy vocals."
Sea of Snakes is based out of Los Angeles and was formed in 2021 by guitarist Jim McCloskey. Jim had a vision for a stoner/doom band and soon released the first Sea of Snakes EP “World on Fire”. Since then, the band has had some lineup changes first adding Chris Lowbridge on drums and then Jason Busiek on vocals. Soon after, the band delivered their first full-length album “The Serpent and the Lamb” on Wet Records in 2022.
To finalize the band’s lineup, they brought in veteran musician Greg Noriega on bass. After a year-long break from composing new music, the LA-based stoner/doom band has emerged with a new album and a new direction. Guitarist Jim McCloskey and vocalist Jason Busiek have steered the band towards a heavier sound and direction. They aimed to create their most intense, doom-laden work yet.
Limited to 150 copies.
