Milkmaid

Calgary, AB

Existing at the edges of heaviness and restraint, Milkmaid is an all-female doom/sludge trio inspired by the isolation of the prairies. After witnessing the sheer power of Seattle sludge band MUÑECA at Sled Island last year, Milkmaid found new motivation to represent the genre in 2026, with hopes of encouraging more women to explore their metal side.
