Howling Giant, a progressive metal band that upped their Bostonian
roots and moved out to the weird cosmos of the American South that is Nashville.
No twangy guitars here and don’t even begin to think that Howling Giant are
“whisky soaked” or “bluesy.” Howling Giant has a sound that is as clear and crisp
as it is raw and spacey. They dive deep into the well of progressive rock as
well as take off for joy rides into space. They mix these trips with a healthy
dose of youthful humor and beer drinking, coming out on the other end sounding
like the bastard child of Elder and Red Fang.
Their cleverly titled EP, and second release to date “Black
Hole Space Wizard: Part 1,”
released in August last year, was the start of a three part series
and judging by songs such as “Dirtmouth,”
that we premiered the video of here, Howling Giant has the discipline to take their time fleshing
out riffs without losing sight of the song, their energy and passion is felt
throughout, which is the glue that held that EP together. Less than a year
later and Howling Giant are
back and August 25, 2017 will see the release of Part 2 of
their “Black Hole Space Wizard” trilogy.
So if you are one of
the many that wishes Mastodon
had continued in the cosmic, crushing progressive manner of “Crack The Skye” and “Blood Mountain”, and if you’re a fan of Elder, Red Fang, Melvins,
Baroness, Rush then Howling Giant is your dream band! Today we’re very excited to
debut a brand new new track from their forthcoming release “Black Hole Space Wizard: Part 2”, you can check out “The
Pioneer” below.
