In the south they tell a tale...of 3 men with a penchant for music with enough weight to crush mountains, with the melody of the wolven at a full moon, with the stomp of the mammoths of old & with a groove thirty miles wide.
Some say its only a myth...that such things must not be spoken of...others claim to have witnessed it in the flesh...some never made it out alive......
We are a three piece southern groove metal band from Invercargill, New Zealand. Formed in mid 2005, been gigging relentlessly since mid 2006. Toured/shared the stage with the likes of Sinate, Dawn Of Azazel, 8 Foot Sativa & Tainted. Two south island tours & a national tour that took us from Invercargill to Auckland & back again under our belts. 2008 saw the release of our debut album 'Relentless, Primal Being' featuring all the bands material up untill that point. We've already started work on our next release due out whenever we are finished. Come see us at a show to make your own opinion.
