Penance
Penance was a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania doom metal band formed in 1989 from former members of thrash act Dream Death, evolving the classic doom metal tradition toward progressive rock over the course of five studio albums. Their debut The Road Less Travelled appeared in 1992 on Lee Dorrian's Rise Above Records, followed by Parallel Corners (1994) on Century Media and three subsequent releases through 2003. The band's gradual incorporation of progressive and psychedelic textures made them an outlier in American doom metal, never achieving broad commercial recognition but earning lasting regard among underground listeners.
