Unearthly Trance is a sludge metal/doom metal trio from Long Island composed of guitarist-vocalist Ryan Lipynsky, bassist Jay Newman, and drummer Darren Verni.
They are also considered by critics one of the leading acts in the doom metal scene and shared tours with notable bands such as Sunn O))), Pelican, Electric Wizard, The Melvins and Morbid Angel.
Ryan Lipynsky also fronts the black metal act The Howling Wind and experimental hardcore unit Pollution.
They headed back to the studio and released Stalking The Ghost in 2017, followed by a EU tour with Suma.
Their songs are usually quite long, past the five-minute mark and build slowly and oppressively with pounding drums and slow, loud and distorted guitars and bass buried under thick layers of feedback.
