Nashville’s Howling Giant has nothing to prove. Music City’s preeminent heavy jamming psych-wizards formed a decade ago and have been on an enviously productive upswing ever since. With four EPs, a split LP and two full-length records under their belts, not to mention a relentless touring ethos that finds them spreading the riff gospel far and wide, Howling Giant transfix with gorgeous, harmony-laden vocal hooks while hitting listeners square in the gut with snaking, progressive grooves no one saw coming.
Since the 2023 release of their exquisite and widely acclaimed album Glass Future, Howling Giant has taken to the open road over and over, co-headlining a European odyssey with fellow Magnetic Eye Records vibe-hounds Heavy Temple and entrancing North America in support of heavyweights like Elder, The Obsessed, Black Tusk and Mars Red Sky.
The solidified trio of Sebastian Baltes (bass/vocals), Tom Polzine (guitar/vocals) and Zach Wheeler (drums/vocals) have honed their craft to a diamond-hard point, still bringing fiery fervor like every show is their first and intensity as it if might be the last. Now expanded to a four-piece with the permanent addition of Adrian Zambrano on guitar and synths, the band is poised to unleash their third album Crucible & Ruin. Electrified by a dual-axe attack and an absurd wealth of hook-driven, hard-driving melodies, the record is massive, mercurial, and ready to meet the moment.
