XII Boar - XII
Posted by Captain Beyond Zen on Sunday, February 13, 2011
The UK stoner metal kings XII Boar like to describe themselves as stoner metal bringing influences from bands such as Down, Crowbar, Clutch, Corrosion of Conformity, High on Fire as well as more 'classic' bands such as Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Led Zeppelin, Blue Cheer, Hendrix. XII Boar was formed in late February 2010 by three friends, Tommy Hardrocks (Guitar & Vocals), Adam Thomas (Bass & Backing Vocals) and David Wilbraham (Drums). XII Boar combines crushing riffs, with killer guitar solos and groove laden melodies.
'XII', released in January 2011, is an immense slab of what XII Boar likes to call "Stoner Metal". It's available now as a free download and physical CD (available at gigs or on request). 'XII' includes four songs, which fire like flashbangs. The songs are thoroughly blessed with an unresistable groove, irrepressible power, musicality of somnambulistic perfection and a grandiose southern feeling! Gimme more of this awesome addiction causing substance! I can't get enough! This is the ultimate southern stoner metal shit since NOLA.
