BREATHS is the Richmond, VA-based passion project of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jason Roberts. On his fifth full-length album, Death Can Wait, Roberts blends elements of doom metal, post-metal, post-hardcore, sludge metal, progressive metal, shoegaze, and post-rock—crafting a bold and immersive fusion of genres, textures, and song structures. Death Can Wait is a compelling listen for fans of these styles and for anyone drawn to adventurous, genre-defying sonic exploration. #blackgaze #doomgaze #post_metal_rock

BREATHS, the passion project of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jason Roberts, returns with its sixth full-length album, Violescent. Marking a new chapter for Roberts, the record embraces a stripped-down approach to songwriting and production, offering a raw yet focused evolution of the BREATHS sound.

Originally conceived as a short-lived trio under the Violescent name, the project has come full circle with an album that now bears its title. Across its runtime, Violescent fuses doom, sludge, post-metal, and heavy psychedelia into a dense, immersive experience, equally devastating and revitalizing.

With Violescent, BREATHS delivers a work that speaks not only to fans of these genres, but to anyone seeking music that combines emotional depth with uncompromising sonic intensity.
