(Sorry Gozu boys, couldn’t find our tour wrap photo so breakfast with Joe will have to do it for now 😘)
Today let's talk about Howling Giant headlining Saturday July 18th!

Nashville’s Howling Giant has nothing to prove. Music City’s preeminent heavy jamming psych-wizards formed more than a decade ago, and have been on an enviously productive upswing ever since. With four EPs, a split, and two full-length albums under their belts, not to mention a relentless touring ethos that finds them spreading the gospel of the riff far and wide, Howling Giant can transfix you with a gorgeous, harmony-laden vocal hook while hitting you square in the gut with the snaking, progressive groove you never saw coming.

So, if they have nothing to prove, how do they still sound so hungry? The solidified trio of Sebastian Baltes (bass/vocals), Tom Polzine (guitar/vocals), and Zach Wheeler (drums/vocals) have honed their craft to a diamond-hard point, but they still bring the fire to every audience with a fervor like every show is the first show, and with a wisdom like any show could be the last show. Since the 2023 release of their exquisite and widely acclaimed album Glass Future, Howling Giant has taken to the open road again and again, co-headlining a European odyssey with fellow Magnetic Eye Records vibe-hounds Heavy Temple and entrancing North America in support of heavyweights like The Obsessed, Black Tusk, and Mars Red Sky.

As if that weren’t enough, Howling Giant has recently expanded to a four-piece with the permanent addition of Adrian Lee Zambrano on guitar and synths. With that dual-axe attack and an absurd wealth of hook-driven, hard-driving melodic metal in their arsenal, the band is again poised to work with Magnetic Eye Records for the release of their third album, the massive and mercurial Crucible & Ruin. These are difficult times, and more than ever we need music with the vitality and passion of Howling Giant to knock us down and then lift us back up, electrified and ready to meet the day.

Second European tour complete! We are back home and feeling incredibly grateful to all who have supported us along this journey. Thanks to all of the promoters and agents for having us, and massive thanks to everyone who came to the shows! Big ups to for being the greatest Central European Sherpa out there, and for putting the whole thing together.

We’re keeping things mostly laid back this summer as we prepare for more shows in the fall and start to write another record! Expect some weekly streams after we reset, and see y’all very soon 🙏
