Dead Branches are a fucking top-notch Instrumental Hard-Rock/Sludge/Stoner Metal influenced by Thin Lizzy, Baroness and Mastodon.
Shawn contacted me about his great new band as he is part of another great Sludge Metal band Sorceress who I featured last year.
Well Dead Branches is a hard-rocking kick-ass rock band and of the best instrumental rock bands I have had the pleasure to hear this year. Especially when influenced by three of my fave bands - Baroness, Thin Lizzy and Mastodon.
This feels like a supergroup jamming session of those great bands. It incorporates the hard-rocking riffs that Thin Lizzy made famous along with the Prog Sludge Riffs that Mastodon/Baroness bring. And it's a great blast that will have you hooked in no time at all.
Dead Branches have 3 songs available for Free Download from their BandCamp page but all individual. The tracks - "Sunken Eyes, Broken Teeth", "Jump Into The Well" and "Lung Wings" show what a great band Dead Branches are actually are.
If this is the start of Dead Branches I can't wait to hear what they sound like on a proper demo, EP or full length in the near future.
It's staggering that this is a two man band as it sounds like a four man band. They have so much power for a two man band.
All I can say is WOW and FUCKING WOW again. Head over to BandCamp and check out a great band with hopefully a bright future ahead of them.
What you get is about 13 mins of amazing hard-rocking Sludge/Stoner Metal vibes that will brighten up any day and leave a big smile on your face. Brilliant.
Great Work Guys. Count me as a fan now. Highly Recommended.
