The Shrine
The Shrine formed in Los Angeles, California in 2008, describing their sound as "Psychedelic Violence Rock and Roll" — a blend of California stoner rock, skate punk, and heavy metal rooted in raw fuzz guitar and high-energy live performance. Their debut self-titled EP (2011) was produced by Black Flag bassist Chuck Dukowski, lending immediate underground credibility, and Primitive Blast (2012) and Bless Off (2014) built their reputation further on Tee Pee Records. Rare Breed (2015), released on Century Media, broadened their reach while maintaining the band's unpolished aesthetic. Their appeal crosses the heavy metal and punk underground equally.
