Beastwars: “Damn the Sky” from s/t (Destroy, 9/11/12)
Hailing from New Zealand, Beastwars is a four-piece stoner/sludge-metal outfit that specializes in down-tuned guitars, deep grooves, and gruff wailing. “Damn the Sky” is an epic opener — part Unsane, part old-school Soundgarden, and part High on Fire. It’s a fist-pumping, head-banging good time.
Pretty cool list of songs for 2012.
