Dead Meadow |
Before setting out on recording their follow up to 2005's FEATHERS, Dead Meadow is hitting the road this November.
"This could be the crossover that bridges the gap between metalheads and indie/emo kids,
with plenty of Sabbath-esque '70s rawk to make the doom- and stoner-rock fans go absolutely nutso but also amazing songwriting that lends itself to lighting a few candles or watching the stars as the music flows over you. Amazing stuff." -DIW Magazine
Dead Meadow play an unusual blend of flawless Hendrix/Sabbath riffage, dreamy psych, heavy undulating rhythms, dirty blues-rock, and environmental jams, with eerie high-pitched vocals. Miles beyond "stoner rock" gimmickry, this is a beautifully natural sound, played by expert instinctive musicians.
Dead Meadow met in the DC punk/indie scene, though their music draws from more faraway sources. The band formed in the fall of 1998 from the ashes of local bands The Impossible Five and Colour, when singer-guitarist Jason Simon, bassist Steve Kille, and drummer Mark Laughlin set out to fuse their
love of early 70's hard rock and 60's psychedelia with their love of writers J.R.R. Tolkien and H.P. Lovecraft.
