NC traditional metal flavored doom; Dogbane

[J. Golden]

Heaven and Hell Records is happy to welcome North Carolina doom metal band Dogbane into the fold.

This North Carolina five piece emerges on the scene with a nice slab of traditional heavy metal flavored doomy goodness. Sighting Trouble and Pentagram as two of the bands main influences, these southern gentlemen certainly proudly wear it on their sleeves. With a solid rhythm section, duel guitars, and the Halford-esque vocals of Jeff Neal, Dogbane have put together one strong debut effort.
The release is set for early December. Recorded and produced by Dogbane and mastered by Gary Long (King Diamond, Solitude Aeturnus). Artwork is being created by Wayne Miller who is best known for his work on fiction horror novel covers.
These days the term “traditional heavy metal” is loosely used. Well one may ask “what is traditional heavy metal” and we simply respond with Dogbane.

I tell you North Carolina has a good crop of good metal bands. I think some people are just now getting hip to that.
Glad to hear that you guys dig it.
