[=SubRosa=] is an American [[DoomMetal doom/sludge metal]] band from Salt Lake City, Utah. The band has a uniquely experimental and folk-inspired sound, the most notable element of this being the inclusion of two electric violins. The band is also notable for being majority (and in its earlier days, entirely) female. As of 2015 the lineup consists of:

* Rebecca Vernon (guitar, vocals)
* Sarah Pendleton (violin, vocals)
* Kim Pack (violin, vocals)
* Levi Hanna (bass)
* Andy Patterson (drums)

Discography:

* ''The Worm Has Turned'' (self-released, 2006)
* ''Strega'' (I Hate Records, 2008)
* ''Swans Trapped In Ice'' EP (self-released, 2009)
* ''No Help For The Mighty Ones'' (Profound Lore, 2011)

!!Tropes:

* AfterTheEnd: Several songs seem to take place here, such as "Borrowed Time, Borrowed Eyes" and "Fat of the Ram".
* AlbumTitleDrop: Happens in "Stonecarver" on ''No Help'', "The Usher" on ''More Constant.''
* DoomMetal: Utterly apocalyptic.
* {{Dystopia}}: ''For This We Fought the Battle of Ages'' has a dystopian theme inspired by the novel ''We.''
* EpicRocking: Most songs on ''No Help'', every song on ''More Constant'' where the shortest song, "Cosey Mo," is 7 minutes. It's pretty standard for their genre.
* FaceDeathWithDignity: "The Usher" is a song about accepting death, because [[WaxingLyrical all in all, we have no say]].
* FolkMetal: Not their primary genre, but the influences are definitely there.
%%* LongTitle: Most of their albums.
* NonAppearingTitle: "Stonecarver", "Fat of the Ram", and many others.
* PurpleProse: A well done example. Their lyrics are very poetic without ever becoming overwrought.
* ShoutOut: "Borrowed Time, Borrowed Eyes" is based on Creator/CormacMcCarthy's ''Literature/TheRoad''. "Cosey Mo" is a character from a book by Music/NickCave.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: A notable aversion. Three of the band's five members are female.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: "House Carpenter" from ''No Help'' is an a capella rendition of a Scottish folk song.
* SurprisinglyGentleSong: The closing track on ''More Constant'', "No Safe Harbor," is a moving song about lost love set to piano and flute. The guitars do kick in about halfway through, but it's still a far cry from the last 50 minutes of apocalyptic doom.
