Judgement Day: Polar Shift (Minus Head, 7/31/12)
“Forest Battle”
Armed with simply a violin, cello, and drum kit, Judgement Day began its existence with one goal in mind: to make metal and other types of nontraditional rock music using unconventional instruments.
With its 2010 magnum opus, Peacocks / Pink Monsters, Bay Area string-metal trio Judgement Day sought a visual aesthetic that was as spontaneous and limitless as its music.
ALARM 39 featured artist Judgment Day has announced a three-week West Coast and Midwest tour, starting on September 1. Coming off the April release of Peacocks / Pink Monsters, its second studio album, the trio proves that hardcore shredding is just as heavy and intense with a violin and cello as it is on guitar and bass.
