Empire State Bastard release their debut album 'Rivers of Heresy' on Roadrunner Records.
Sprawling across the alt-metal landscape, the record's songs hit like a full-throttle collab between Siege and Slayer ('Stutter', 'Palm of Hands'), toy between mathy chaos and grindcore ferocity ('Blusher', 'Sold!') or lurch with slow motion stoner rock menace ('Sons And Daughters').
It's a sound which calls for an exemplary drummer, so they called upon the best: Dave Lombardo of Slayer, Testament, Dead Cross and more. His performances are akin to a runaway train just about staying on the tracks, the propulsive rush of manic fills and fleet-footed double-kicks pulverises and grooves in equal measure.
