Biography

Velvet Cacoon was an American black metal/ambient band from Portland, Oregon formed in 2001. The band consists of two musicians, Josh (aka SGL) on guitar, vocals and drums and Angela (aka LVG) on guitar. The band is known for its particularly cold, melancholy and hypnotic brand of black metal, featuring quiet hissing vocals and repetitive, reverb-saturated guitar work.

Over the years the band has been surrounded by controversy for making a slew of false claims, including a string of fake albums and completely false band history.

    That sounds more like a Velvet Coon-COck groupie than someone who likes the band dicking around on the web. I like it.

    I love how Hypothermia is in the similar artists. H and VC sound almost nothing alike but they're my two favorite black metal groups, easy.

    This is the band that should have made I'M ON A BOAT t-shirts popular. In blackletter. "USBM" is not a joke, folks. Not anymore than black metal in general, anyway. Some of VC's earlier stuff slightly annoys me, but I can't even really identify it because the body of work as a whole is just so enigmatic and innovative, yet it all falls safely within the contours of plain ol' black metal.

    Last 4th of July, my buddies and I ate acid and put the boombox on the dock. We played P aa opal Poere Pr. 33 very loud as we bobbed wayyy out in the lake, under the full, bleeding moon in life vests, generally being silly with bottle rockets and sparklers. This was all in the wee hours in the morning. Then a creepy boat with an orange light approached us from afar. We stared it down for a while but it definitely became time to put the Velvet Coon-Cock away and hide in the pot-filled bunkhouse, built in 1931 when is was legal to put them RIGHT ON THE WATER, to examine the rich mythology of Americana and our self-encouraging history. The next time our fried morning brains of sleeplessness checked in with the "real" world, it was with a horrid regional morning news show (FOX-9 in Minnesota) on a tiny black and white tv. They seemed just as confused as we were as they struggled to handle the topic of some kind of "GOD PARTICLE" being discovered on their quirky and kitschy show.

    I listen to Atropine /exclusively/ to fall asleep on uppers after studying all night. I swear it's scientifically attuned to a junkie's brainZeit. Great success every time.
