There is but one land in all the universe that combines Dio-esque epic battle lyrics with gritty street-tuff imagery and a belligerent attitude, all at maximum distortion and volume- and that is the realm of ROADHOG.
Formed in 1998 as a power trio with original members, Mighty Joe, Mr. C and Cap'n Party. Roadhog crashed and burned their way through parties and small venues. One studio album, various live recordings and the addition of quitartist Danger-Russ set the band on a path of destruction. Roadhog emerged once again as a power trio with a new drummer the Resin Plug and heaveir than ever. Roadhog has grown from a diabolical little brother into a super monster hell bent on taking over the universe. With sonic rhythms, screaming guitars and apocalyptic vocals and lyrics, Roadhog burns an imprint on your soul.
Following in the footsteps of such legendary doom-rock bands Kyuss, Nebula and the mothership Fu Manchu, Roadhog studies from the bible of The Spine of God. Come and worship the universe and bear witness to the all powerful Roadhog.
I found this Derek Balsam review of the two new ROADHOG songs. Thought you might enjoy it.
ROADHOG's new recording "Fucking Burn the Fucking Witch" is fucking insane, just like the dudes behind the music. Back in '69 I was at a show in a barn in Ypsilanti. Iggy and the Stooges were stoked on heroin and peanut butter, and Ronny James Dio happened to be at the farm buying bacon, so he sat in and jammed. While they were jamming, some little kids from the day care next door came over: it was little Jimmy Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. They were already drunk off their ass and nobody cared so they got up on stage too. Next thing you know a fight breaks out and the Stooges were beating thr crap out of the audience using guitars and young Metallica toddlers as maces. Vince Furnier was with me and he ran up on stage and started shrieking and biting everyone. Well, this ROADHOG recording is like that only better. The record is raw and I believe with proper mixing it will become even rawer.
ROADHOG's second record of the new batch is "Guide to the Clear OT7". I was going to review it but the first few notes kicked me in the nads so hard I shit my pants. Wait, I guess that IS a review.
Rating: 4 1/2 bareknuckles fists (out of 5).
ROADHOG's lineup: Guitars and lead vox: Beezlebub's grandkid Alistair Cooper. Bass: Sasquatch. Drums: An insect-riddled zombie corpse of an epileptic guy. B-vox: tortured souls of the second circle of hell with a little echo thrown in.
Derek Balsam is a hallucinatory reviewer of real music.
