Trip to Arkansas

by WEEDIAN

supported by

Death In Appalachia As a Metalhead who calls Arkansas home, I'm BEYOND stoked to see some of the greatest Doom/Stoner/Sludge bands EVER getting wide-spread, well deserved attention. These aren't just musicians on bandcamp to me - a lot of the musicians represented here I'm grateful to call friends; and everyone in the scene are some of the nicest, most genuine people you'll ever meet. If you can - come on down and catch some shows. It will be one of the most memorable nights of your life, I promise. Favorite track: Rwake - Leviticus.

walkerfloridaranger Another solid comp by Weedian. I played track 8 on the radio, will be playing more.

Weedian: trip to NJ?

Pedaltvchannel So killer ! Thanks so much !

Andrew-1958 The only band that has a possible Radio future is number 18. Easy and clearly understand the blokes wording. Isn't mumbled shit like others in the list. No GOD's have ever Existed so why try sounding like some Outcast Devil Wanker?? Jesus Never Existed!!! Favorite track: Protohive - Blue Collar Conundrum.

about

While on a trip to Arkansas, one thing that is quickly obvious is that everything from the weather and landscape, to the people and culture is a juxtaposition of one extreme and another.

In the Natural State, ice falls from the sky when the weather is near the hundreds. If you drive 5 hours across the state, you can go from the sparse forests of the poverty-stricken Arkansas Delta to the lush riches of WalMart and majestic beauty of the Ozark and Ouachita Mountains.

Arkansas’s biggest city is called Little Rock, and despite being predominantly a red state, its most famous citizen is a saxophone-playing democrat.

The state that was once home to Maya Angelou, John Grisham, Billy Bob Thornton, Scottie Pippen and Rudy Ray Moore is also home to the mob dealings of Al Capone and one of the most well-known acts of racism in American history: the Little Rock 9.

Though the Natural State gave birth to Johnny Cash, Conway Twitty, Ne-Yo and Black Oak Arkansas, it’s also famous for its crushing, unique brand of extreme metal.

Heavy metal roots run deep and carry many forms in Arkansas which has produced bands like Evanescence, Living Sacrifice, Vore and Terminal Nation, but also some of the most important, beautiful and revolutionary stoner doom music ever created.

Without question, the most popular doom band to come out of the state is Pallbearer, whose success was inspired and aided by two of its oldest and most revolutionary acts, Rwake and Deadbird. Crankbait is one of the first doom bands in Arkansas and Seahag is its most ornery.

While the majority of the state’s doom and stoner bands come from central Arkansas including Apothecary and Czarus, the Northern part of the state is also rich in heavy metal history with bands like Deadeyejack, Dirtmother, Sleuthfoot, Bones of the Earth and Mud Lung.

Though Arkansas doom was created in the mid-90’s, the legacy of the past is still being carried on by bands like The Salesman, Protohive, Ghost Hollow, Stash Hag and Mammoth Caravan.

Arkansas is a state that feels like the fires of hell and has streets encased in ice. A state known just as much for its awe-inspiring natural beauty as it is the unspeakable evil of the humans that call it home.

In this horrific, beautiful place where springs flow bountifully and tornadoes rip mercilessly, heavy metal is king and forever may it reign.
