Mother Of Six release single Castell

(((Mother of Six))) were a heavy, stoner-doom band hailing from Wrexham, North Wales, known for their crushing riffs, cosmic atmosphere, and a fierce DIY ethic. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band carved out a cult following in the with a sound that fused slow, earth-rumbling doom with elements of psychedelic and space rock. Often billed as “Wrexham’s heaviest mothers,” the band became synonymous with raw volume and introspective heaviness.

Though they never pursued mainstream recognition, (((Mother of Six))) built a strong reputation on the live circuit, sharing stages with kindred spirits in the UK sludge and doom underground. Health issues and personal commitments eventually led to the band’s quiet winding down, with a farewell message posted on their social media over a decade after they began.

Members of (((Mother of Six))) would go on to form or contribute to other heavy projects — most notably Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard, another Wrexham-based outfit that gained international acclaim in the doom/psych scene.
