Bedowyn

Founded in the fall of 2011 by Mark Peters, Todd Parham, Alex Traboulsi, and Marc Campbell, Bedowyn (pronounced Bedouin) infuses elements of classic metal, thrash, doom and Sabbathesque riffs into a powerful and multi-facetted sound accompanied by lyrics about mankind's dark side and the human struggle. In 2018 Bedowyn has taken on new bassist Channing Azure and are gearing up for a new record and more shows. With a few in the bag, we're excited for what's next. "October’s Blood of the Fall proved Bedowyn’s place near the top of local metal. Its alloy of proto-metal groove and stoner sprawl, proggy detours and big-tent hooks makes it equally inviting and devastating. Blood of the Fall is an unapologetically hi-fi album, full of rich textures, layered arrangements and crisp riffs that suggest the band labored and fretted over every second. The sounds complement the tempered, likable craft. It's not extreme, elitist or arrogant metal; instead, it's an uncompromising act of compromise from four musicians who have become friends and like responding to one another." - Bryan C. Reed, Indy Weekly "Bedowyn have released one of the necessary metal albums of 2015. “Blood of the Fall” is truly a master work from head to toe. Here we have one of the seemingly few bands out there delivering good ol’ heavy metal in the present day while managing to do in a way that sounds fresh and exciting. This merger of classic and modern sound is a feat to pull off no matter which angle you come at it – Bedowyn succeeds where many have failed. And for this, they deserve all the glory they can get!" -The Circle Pit Nomads wandering the heavy metal wasteland.
