Top-tier stoner/doom metal
band WEED IS WEED has signed a world-wide deal with Ripple Music for the
release of their full-length album, Blunt Force Trauma.
Years of seismic rumbling
have led way to the tectonic formation that is WEED IS WEED. Two
legendary masters of Maryland Doom, Dave "Sherm" Sherman and Gary Isom,
come with a stoner/doom metal pedigree second to none. Sherm and Gary
have been the creative catalysts in such genre defining bands as
Pentagram, Earthride, and Spirit Caravan, and now they're set to launch
their newest, blazing heavy rock venture. Having assembled their most
blazing line-up ever, this group of musicians have crafted the perfect
sound track for red-eyed blazers the world over - Blunt Force Trauma.
Blitzed out, stoned heaviness is the order as this collection of tales
of reefer madness and alligator fights is slated to be released early
2014 by the ever impressive Ripple Music.
That's right folks... People are about to take notice.
Sherm is completely
shredding the vocals, undoubtedly turning in his best performance to
date, as he is more than ably backed by the rip and tear of the triple
(3!) guitar attack courtesy of Gary on slide & lead guitar teamed up
with Jason Fisher and Rob Portillo's riffing and rolling. Match that
with the full on rhythmic assault of Darren Waters on bass, and the
single moniker'd Cougin on drums, and this band is ready to pummel the
unsuspecting ear drums of those about to burn!
With the ink just dry on
their contract with Ripple Music, it is being announced that WEED IS
WEED has also signed on with 313 INC Artist Management to help further
their reach and plan their underground takeover.
Watch for some pre-release touring to be announced soon.
It's no doubt that the riffs
are gonna be huge, the vocals are gonna be gritty and the low end will
rumble that PBR floating in your stomach. Weed Is Weed is taking over...
and it's going to be a smoky green revolution.
