From the rain-soaked pacific northwest comes the ultimate invocation of crushing doom!!!Hailing From Portland, Oregon, Roanoke consists of Todd Janeczek- guitar/vocals Larry Pike-drums and James Kosharek- bass, this 3 piece colosuss creates monolithic doom with tons of low-end power and riffs mighty enough to crush buildings and slow enough to reverse time itself!!JesusF**ingChrist...and I thought it couldn´t get any slower, if you´re in bands like Unearthly Trance, Electric Wizard, Soulpreacher and Sunn...this is a f**ing must buy for you.-Daredevil magazine...if you enjoy the apocalyptic, chaotic, tortured, noisy, low and slow musicyou better run to get your copy.-burningblack.netStormbringer" is some serious fucking metal, huge and indestructable, with riffage that will tear your head off with an undodgeable slow-motion punch. Impenetrable and textured, there's gobs to listen to here in this swirling, electric cloud of doom. Magnificent.-fishcomcollective.netIf The Electric Wizard is too pop for you, Warhorse too clean, and Sunn O))) too mainstream, you owe it to yourself to check out this underground behemoth.-Tony Belcher -Tartarean DesireRecommended 'Wildcard' of the Month: "Stormbringer" by Roanoke.
This demo came to me care of Terrorizer. A 32 minute sludge fest from Portland, Oregon. Starts off like a Sunn/Earth style drone but then picks up for a Winter meets Electric Wizard style dirge. Heavy stuff and worth a look.
