Destroyer of Light

Formed in 2012 from constantly boiling musical cauldron that is Austin, TX, Destroyer of Light has taken a straight forward approach to tempering the disparate and harmonious parts of their influences into a total sum of slow motion tidal heaviness that bows to no altar but that of the riff. With the smoky flavors of hazed out doom and the stomping cadence of rock’s heyday, the band both tickles and deafens the ears with the theatrical flashes of Mercyful Fate, the ominous tones of Electric Wizard, and the ferociously feral feedback of a Sleep dirge. “They are revelatory live, the songs becoming more than just a performance. Is offering up your axe to the great Orange altar in order to raise great slabs of droning feedback an act of supplication or creation? Is there a difference?" -Negalithic
