YOB @ THE LARIMER LOUNGE 7/05/11 DENVER-CO

YOB are a doom metal band from Oregon that formed in the mid 90’s. Their first full release “Elaborations Of Carbon” is an ominous, oppressive doom masterpiece, full of black metal growls, grinding screams, relentless pummeling slow drums, heavy slow riffs, distorted bass lines and atmospheric sounds.

Also playing: Dark Castle – a 2 piece sludge/death/doom metal band from the land of death and oranges, Florida. Aggressive growls, massive crushing black riffs, brutal, violent and dark drone is what their music is. Clinging To The Trees Of A Forest Fire – one of Colorado’s finest grindcore band’s.

“SUMMER SOUTHERN BURN TOUR” @ LARIMER LOUNGE 7/02/10 DENVER-CO

Zoroaster – Experimental/shoegaze/psychedelic metal from Atlanta, formed in 2003 out of  “the need for sedation by high volumes and low frequencies.” Their live shows have been described as “an obliteration of the senses,” and they are also known as “Atlanta’s loudest band.”   

Black Tusk – Sludge metal from the swamps of Savannah, so called “Swamp-metal.” Black Tusk main distinguishing feature is the fact that all 3 members contribute lead vocals. They combine sludge metal, post metal, post hardcore with good old-fashioned southern rock.

Dark Castle – Gloom-metal from St. Augustine, Florida. Led by two establish tattoo artists, Stevie (girl) on guitar/vocals and Rob (boy) drums/vocals. Foward-thinking psychedelic laced doom is how they describe their sound.
