Embers are a very interesting depressive black/doom metal project with male and female vocals made by members of the Bay Area punk scene. Speaking of their sound, I think they're comparable to Mania and other Cascadian black metal bands. Embers were founded by two former members of Oakland-based anarcho-crust/hardcore band Lesser Of Two. According to info I've found, "their lyrics are extremely political, and in a novel turn from most armchair revolutionaries they actually practiced what they preached". More info about Embers can be found on their myspace. And their debut EP is very good and certainly recommended to everyone who like progressive black metal (I know many of my readers do like it!)
