Product information "HOWLING GIANT - Crucible & Ruin · OLIVE GREEN LP"

Olive green vinyl with printed lyric insert and polylined inner sleeve.

Background information über 'Crucible & Ruin'

Howling Giant take another massive leap forward on their third full-length "Crucible & Ruin", delivering a collection that perfectly balances sparking ideas, captivating melodies, and crushing heavy riffs. This Nashville quartet has truly hit their stride, showcasing remarkable songwriting maturity for such a relatively young band. The album marks a significant milestone as their first release featuring new fourth member Adrian Lee Zambrano, whose guitar work and synth textures add compelling new dimensions to their already formidable sound.

The expanded lineup brings a noticeably more aggressive edge compared to their previous effort "Glass Future" (2023), with the band even incorporating raw live takes to capture the authentic energy and emotion of their performances. Hailing from Music City, Howling Giant deliberately sidestep Nashville's mainstream country assembly line, instead drawing inspiration from the city's rich legacy of brilliant songwriters and virtuoso session players. This fertile creative ground has nurtured a preeminent fuzz-psych power trio that's now evolved into an even more powerful quartet, consciously building upon that musical lineage while forging their own distinctive path.

For fans of:
Elder, Monolord, Red Fang, Fu Manchu, and Sleep
