Biography

Windhand is a doom metal band from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 2008. The band's sound draws comparisons to influential bands like Electric Wizard and Sleep, blending low-end fuzz and pounding rhythms with ethereal vocals. Windhand gained underground acclaim before signing with Relapse and releasing albums like Soma, Grief's Infernal Flower, and Eternal Return.

Founded by Dorthia Cottrell, Garrett Morris, Asechiah Bogdan, Nathan Hilbish, and Jeff Loucks, Windhand released their first full-length album in 2012. The band underwent lineup changes over the years, with Ryan Wolfe replacing Loucks on drums and Parker Chandler taking over for Hilbish on bass. Windhand toured extensively and collaborated with other bands like Cough and Salem's Pot, solidifying their reputation as a prominent heavy music act.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
