about

Bay Area avant metal / thrash / hardcore supergroup BLACK DOG belts out a thick, slab of distorted, double bass laden chaos. Pummeling drums, screeching guitars backed with thick slabs of low end from Benson's bass rig, and Miss Ian's pummeling percussion, BLACK DOG is a force to be reckoned with. The metal band that will ruin your punk show with FUN and fierceness.

Is a band of four friends, intent on discovering their inner metal third eye, who have combined to recreate the sound and sensation of the inspiring 90s death metal scene (a scene that babysat many of our unspoken feelings through high school). Black Dog peddles a rhythm section whose bass player is as technical as he is experimental and carries a local music résumé as long and as beautiful as Rihanna’s manicure. The drummer stomps a fattening cadence only rivaled by her fashion sense and two-steps with guitar riffs that stirs squeals of Oakland’s always burgeoning noise scene and a bludgeoning of Cannibal Corpse chunkery. All of this centered around a peppering of performance from a vocalist whose antics are reminiscent of Van Damme’s Cyborg. Post-apocalyptic, masochistic, and fabulous Black Dog brings the chaos of Napalm Death served with all the delectable delights of a ladies luncheon.
