The Swan King
Chicago's The Swan King craft music at the junction of stoner metal's fuzz-soaked riff worship and post-metal's expansive, textural reach, building songs that alternate between narcotic groove and patient, building intensity. Formed in 2012, they draw from the deep well of Chicago's heavy and experimental underground.
