HERE'S THE DIRT SO FAR:
For some bands, metal is nothing more than a career move, a uniform to gain fame. That isn’t the case with Dirt Communion, a groove-meets-doom band from Reno Nevada that write and play like true fans. Dirt Communion plays what they would want to hear themselves if they were in the audience. Because of that, they are standing out among the metal-by-numbers crowd.

Luckily for them, others agree. This includes fellow fans and the local press. As the Reno News and Review said, “Any listener who appreciates pure, unadulterated, classic metal riffage, can’t do anything but bang his head with approval.”

This group of Reno vets started in fall 2007 when guitarist Tony Ashworth and drummer Logan Spurling decided to form a band with Southern drive and a dirty downbeat. There wasn’t really a band like that in Reno. Tony asked friend and prominent local guitarist Eric Stangeland to join up and the trio started writing songs soon after.

It took well over a year to find others committed to Dirt Communion, but things settled in fall 2008. That summer, Eric’s friend, vocalist Mark Earnest, was singing Sabbath covers with another local metal band. Eric and Tony then asked him to join. Still needing a bassist, Mark asked his friend Dan Bishop to complete the lineup. As it turned out, Dan also wanted to play this style of metal.

From the get-go, Dirt Communion brought together catchy riffage, earthshaking tone and a dynamic stage show to quickly earn a devoted Reno following. Encouraged by this galloping start, Dirt Communion recorded with local engineer Chris Finley and decided to release a digital EP in summer 2009, with another digital-only EP to follow later in the year. Both EPs will be on a combined CD release in early 2010. Dirt Communion also plans to play outside of Reno, with California, Nebraska and Colorado shows already on the books.
