This Gaithersburg, Maryland act formed in 2016 and approaches heavy metal from a thrash-rooted angle, combining the punch of classic American thrash with the no-nonsense directness of traditional heavy metal. Their sound favors aggressive riffing and straightforward song structures over technical complexity, placing them squarely in the lineage of East Coast hard metal acts. Active and still developing, they represent a blue-collar strain of metal that owes more to the road than the studio.
