"Sisteria - Dark Matter"

Folk-rock merged with doom and heavy psych, it’s like Fairport Convention jamming with Black Sabbath while tripping on good acid…
~ Frazer Jones (Desert Psychlist - Doom Charts


"SONG PREMIERE: Sisteria Offers Grinding Riffs & Howlin’ Vocals On Psych Fueled “Om/Yes”"

From the opening notes of Sisteria’s new track “Om/Yes” one can’t help but flashback to the powerful pipes of Grace Slick and Ann Wilson. Yes, Katie Williams of the Norman, Oklahoma band steals the show with haunting vocals while the rest of the band churns out stoner metal riffs, creating a dark Black Sabbath stew of psych, doom and hard rock.

The long-awaited new album aptly titled Dark Matter arrives on August 19th and Glide is premiering this vivacious cut “OM Yes” (below) that fans of Sleep and Acid King will welcome with its thick bleeding riffs and explosive musicianship. We hope to see an invite soon to Levitation or Desert Daze for Sisteria, so the psych set can experience their ebullient brand of heaviness.


“Om/Yes’ is perhaps my favorite song on the record. I wrote the beginning of it after a long period of writer’s block and it felt like the levee of creativity had finally broken. Steve Boaz, our drummer and producer, wrote the riff and composed the bulk of the instrumentals. Our beloved guitarist, Richie Tarver made me cry when he came in and played the melody he had written for the intro. I was instantly catapulted to a different time. It’s so magical to work with people who speak the same soul language. It is arguably the heaviest song on the record and speaks to the interconnectedness of all beings. “I am you and you are me,” adds Williams. - Glide Magazine

Bio

Sisteria is a thunderous new psychedelic band from Norman, OK, spearheaded by folk-singer-turned-rock-goddess Katie Williams. With an alliance of accomplished players at her side, she spelunks into deep, primal consciousness to reclaim buried treasures of the self. If it is taboo to fraternize with raw mineral deposits of untempered life force, Sisteria wears its adultery with the purest scarlet. From the outset, the band unchains itself from streaming algorithms and expectations, choosing instead to feed the desires of the art itself. Naturally, this fits the nature of psychedelic rock to a tee, but it also captures the album's themes of embodied spirituality.
