Duel (USA)

Feat 2 ex-members of Scorpion Child.
From the sun baked wastelands of Austin, Texas comes the super heavy, tripped out, old school stoner metal sounds of DUEL. Hugely influenced by the darker breed of late 60's and early 70's Proto-metal and heavy groove, DUEL casts hard rocking spells of doom, angst, and horror from behind a thick psychedelic haze of pot smoke. Laying it out thick and heavy these purists have become well known for their knock down drag out , beer everywhere, high energy live shows. Balls to the wall with all the cocky ness and on your knees train wreck swagger of the MC5 or an evil James Brown. Like the B.O.C. On PCP! Their debut LP "Fears Of The Dead" recorded at the famed Machine Shop Studio (Clutch, Lamb of God, King Crimson etc) captures this perfectly. Listen respnsibly

'Psych Is Dead' - The sixth full length album from The Cosmic Dead, the glowing embers of a few days spent recording in a sweaty Sardinian kitchen overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
