Red Fang
"Quick Metal quiz! The world needs more: (A) hard rock bands, (B) nuclear winters, (C) colostomy bags, (D) Jeb Bush presidencies, (E) none of the above. Okay, so try explaining that to the drunk super cavemen of Red Fang. This tight-knit group of friends has collectively blown speakers in Partytime, Last of the Juanitas, Face Down in Shit, Lachrymator, Bad Wizard, etc. Red Fang follows that lineage with a good old-fashioned Northwest heavy rock attack (think classic grunge), infused with a bit of San Diego style (think Hot Snakes) and a vocalist that sounds not unlike Tad Doyle aping Ian MacKaye."
--Nathan Carson, Portland Mercury
"Red Fang write music in a different manner, with all the headbanging qualities of Black Sabbath and punk attitude of mid era Black Flag."
--Portland Mercury
"When I was a wee young thing, I conceived a simplistic but passionate theory that music was like food. "You need to have a balanced musical diet!" I told my mother, insisting that the Beatles were grilled cheese and Bach was akin to green leafy vegetables. That belief continues, albeit slightly more jaded and refined: Mariah Carey is Nutrasweet-flavored cotton candy; Big Black is four-star Thai food. With this in mind, I hereby declare Red Fang to be one of the best fucking cheeseburgers you've ever had. Former members of Party Time, Bad Wizard, and the Last of the Juanitas have unleashed some of the most potent hard rock I've heard since Big Business. Prepare to have your face melted off."
--Hannah Levin, Seattle Stranger
"Jesus Christmas! Holy Jesus goddamn! Holy Jesus jumping Christmas shit!"

Black Tusk
The Savannah scene has produced so many great bands you'd be excused for thinking that sludge is in the water there, but there's no excuse for overlooking BLACK TUSK. Comparisons of 'Taste The Sin' to bands BLACK TUSK considers brothers only tell part of the tale; the band's sophomore release and first for Relapse Records rips into you with locomotive riffing and powerful percussion, creating a furious display that incorporates the fury of punk and the precision of thrash metal within a familiar Southern-fried landscape. If 'Taste the Sin' is wrong, you won't want to be right!
Lord Dying
Lord Dying come from Portland, Oregon, a place over abundant with purveyors of the heavy riff. A region where the inhabitants are plagued with nerve and joint damage due to lack of sunlight. In a time where everyone is trying to out-sludge or out-doom each other Lord Dying gives something less than a fuck. They are a metal band with members of Black Elk , Portals, Le Force, and Cremains, who i
n their short, one years time as a band have shared the stage with Unsane, Red Fang, Yob, Valient Thorr, and others locally. They have also braved the west coast twice, the first time alone, only to meet up with crazy prog-shredmeisters Danava and heavy lust-lifers Lecherous Gaze for a few shows, followed a few months later by another co-headling tour with local heavy punishers Nether Regions. Shortly after Lord Dying teamed up with longtime bros Kelly and Erica G and solidified the first monumental release, Lord Dying "s/t", in 7" form on his Powerblaster Records label. Lord Dying are here to pummel with heavy riffs and promote simpler things like Cold brew-Hot Shower.
