A North Carolina band that evolved from hardcore punk to groove-heavy metal over four decades.
For a sense of their range, check out 'Albatross' from the 'Blind' era and something later like 'Clean My Wounds.' Both show that heavy, melodic pull they do so well.
They started with the raw hardcore of 'Eye for an Eye' in 1984, but by the early '90s, songs like 'Albatross' from the 'Blind' album showed a shift toward heavier, more melodic territory. Tracks such as 'Clean My Wounds' and '13 Angels' blend those heavy riffs with a rough, lived-in quality that never quite fits one genre. It's music that feels distinctly their own.
They formed in Raleigh in 1982, with their early sound captured on the 1984 debut 'Eye for an Eye.' By 1991, the album 'Blind' marked a turn toward Southern metal grooves, and they've kept recording through albums like 'Deliverance' in 1994 and 'No Cross No Crown' in 2018.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
