TOAD


TOAD is a 6 Piece Sludge/Black n' Roll/Metal Band from Tempe, AZ, USA.

The members are:

ANDY- Vocals
ALEX - Guitar
DANNY- Guitar
PETE - Organ
TREY - Bass.
SHANE - Drums

TOAD play a brilliant blend of Black Metal/Sludge Metal/Rock Music. They have just released their new album "ROTTEN TIDE". And believe me this pure brilliance from start to finish.

Their description gives a much better description of their music.

"TOAD is a 6 piece band from Phoenix, Arizona that has crafted a sound of their own that cannot easily be classified. This entitled "Rotten Tide" and was tracked live to analog tape.

For this album, TOAD teamed up with recording engineer/producer Bob Hoag, who owns and operates Flying Blanket Recording. All vintage gear from the 60's and 70's was used to get a true rock and roll sound.

The serious snarl of the vocals are accompanied with horrifyingly distorted organ scattered throughout, which provides a new unique sound that TOAD has coined as their own
.

We are influenced by the likes of Cronenberg and H.P. Lovecraft in a very Necro fashion."

This is Black'n'Roll Sludge at its most pure and finest. These guys are one of the best bands I have heard this year. Rotten Tide was such great listen to from start to finish. You get 5 tracks on for 22 mins or so.

But dont let the short length put you off. This has some of the best guitar Sludge/Black'n' Roll guitar riffs this year. Imagine Kvelertak jamming with Nachtmystium and this is the result you will probably get.

Just one of the best and most furious Sludge Metal release you will hear this year.

The production is excellent. Loud, Clear and heavy from the onset. Highly Recommended Indeed!!!.

You can own this excellent release for Free from their BandCamp Page.
