Snakemother is an atmospheric heavy band from Oakland, California, weaving together crushing doom, hypnotic vocal harmonies, and mythic storytelling into immersive sonic landscapes. Formed by Bianca Salinas (vocals/guitar), Colie Sutter (bass/vocals), Julia Arria (drums), and Lily Ramus (lead guitar), the band creates music that moves between tension and release, ceremony and catharsis, heaviness and transcendence.

Emerging from the Bay Area heavy music scene, Snakemother quickly distinguished itself through a sound that stretches beyond traditional doom conventions. Drawing from ritualistic themes, folk influences, layered vocal textures, and expansive song structures, the band builds worlds rather than simply songs. Their music unfolds as an experience—brooding, cinematic, and deeply atmospheric.

Snakemother is currently exploring release partners for Empyros and seeking a label relationship that can support the band’s continued growth through international distribution, vinyl production, strategic PR and marketing, and expanded touring opportunities. The band is looking for a long-term partnership with a label that values artistic identity and can help bring Snakemother to a broader international audience.

Empyros

un-released

Empyros is Snakemother’s second full-length album and an expansion of the band’s atmospheric and mythic approach to heavy music. Across seven immersive compositions, the album moves through ritual imagery, elemental themes, layered vocal harmonies, and dynamic shifts between tension and release. More expansive in scope and more focused in identity than previous work, Empyros explores transformation, memory, fire, and transcendence through sprawling song structures that balance crushing weight with cinematic atmosphere.

Built as a complete listening experience rather than a collection of isolated songs, Empyros deepens Snakemother’s world while pushing beyond traditional doom structures into something more immersive and emotionally resonant.
