With both feet slogging through heavy ancient tar but reaching for the cosmos, bands like Inter Arma, Schammasch, Thou, North, Sumac, Almyrkvi, and Bölzer are converging from across the metal universe to craft a humongous, titanic new sonic beast. Roots brings you on a galactic tour of this newly emerging thick, heavy sludge metal. Know your Roots!

  1. Not sure if you have done one in the past but a show on metalcore would awesome. From crossover thrash bands in the 80s to bands like hatebreed, iron reagan, and darkest hour now.
