Formed in 2015, Wild Spells is a collision between the heaviness of doom metal and the intricacy of folk, with soft vocals and shimmering keys contrasting heavy guitar and bass. Wild Spells integrates dense harmonies and droning instruments to create a layered, heavy, complex sound.

Raised in rural towns throughout Utah and Idaho, composer R. Michael Wahlquist got into modern music and Russian culture thanks to the Internet, and studied both in college. Besides Eastern Europe, his blend of influences includes avant garde classical music, obscure science fiction, eclectic modern art and guilty-pleasure hipster indie music.

As a composer, Michael strives to craft a balance between complexity and accessibility, the beauty of the individual moment and the formal structure of the whole. Dichotomies like this abound in his music - monolith and labyrinth, complete and incomplete, the ancient and the digital, the city and the jungle, the divine and the sensual.

Member of We Are Apes and Urquides. Keys, drums, vocals, other stuff I can get my hands on.
