Blending slow, atmospheric depth, crushing rhythms with eerie dark tones. Influenced & inspired by legends like Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Electric Wizard & Sleep, these guys bring that same heavy energy & melodic riffs into a modern sound. During their interview Guitar player Dylan expressed that “Metal is an exchange of emotions” and later went on to say “Playing at venues like McGuffie’s gives Musicians the experience they need”
