Triumphant Heavy / Power Metal from San Antonio.

NWOBHM-influenced heavy metal and hard rock band from Congleton in Cheshire, formed in 2021 and reviving the galloping energy and twin-guitar harmonies of the original British heavy metal movement. Their sound channels the spirit of late-1970s and early-1980s UK metal.
Out of Tumwater, Washington, Karp have been a fixture of the Pacific Northwest heavy scene since 1995, navigating the space between raw heavy metal and caustic sludge with a sound that's abrasive and unpredictable.
