Synthesis Heaviest Band EVAR of the Day that you’ve never heard of but should like: BLACK SHEEP WALL
Posted on 14. Jul, 2008 by The Sloth in Art, Band of the Day, Blog, Lifestyle
Black Sheep Wall is a band from L.A. somewhere that I stumbled upon over the weekend. They are a doomy/sludgey band, and their riffs are so heavy they will knock your dick in the dirt.

Opening things up were a band that no one seemed to know anything about, some yahoos named Trigger Renegade from Santa Cruz. Needless to say, expectations were low. But then the band started humping their gear onto stage, and I began to take notice. Bogner half-stack? Double Bass drumkit with a fucking 236″ single rack tom? White curly guitar [...]
