Operating from Jochberg in the Tyrolean Alps since 1990—previously under the name Stage from 1987—Murdock are a heavy metal and hard rock band with a long history in the Austrian underground. The band have persevered independently for over three decades, maintaining an active presence in the Austrian regional metal scene.
Chicago heavy metal act Murdock 13 have been operating in the city's sprawling metal underground since 2017, playing traditional heavy metal with the directness and confidence that a city like Chicago demands. The number 13 in the name sets the tone — bad luck runs through the music.
Palm Bay, Florida's Murdok have been grinding it out since 1994, making them one of the more tenacious heavy metal acts in the state — three decades of survival in a scene that chews through bands constantly. Straight-ahead heavy metal with the longevity to back it up.
