Fire-driven Metal merchants Rifflord announce a series of live shows in support of their freshly released third studio album “39 Serpent Power,” out now on Ripple Music.
Blitzing all ears with their raw visceral energy and Wyatt Bronc‘s commanding vocals, the American quintet’s sound firmly sits between the ruthless galloping overdrive and pummeling of High On Fire and the Sludgy dual-riffing assault of Kylesa and Restless Spirit, with Tory Jean Stoddard‘s keys adding to the album’s all-around heroic vibe. “39 Serpent Power” immediately sucks the listener into a fulgurant and anthemic maelstrom of heaviness, whether you like it fast or slow: you will be forever hooked from the moment you hit play.
Rifflord on tour:
December 17 – Omaha (NE) Slowdown
December 18 – Des Moines (IA) XBK
December 19 – Madison (WI) High Noon Saloon
December 20 – Minneapolis (MN) 7th St Entry

Rifflord is a band that defies all logic and its existence alone proves that raw determination and unwavering friendships can accomplish the improbable. With members residing in different parts of the United States and hundreds of miles away, they create a sonic landscape as vast and diverse as the distance between the members. Lugging around massive tube amps, oversized drums, and vintage Hammond organs they exist as if they were thawed from some primordial cro-magnon frost of a forgotten time in rock and roll history. Heavily influenced by the old American West, down-tuned guitars, orchestrated keys and thunderously abrasive drums they leave a mark that both romanticizes the past while beating back against the mainstream.
Rifflord formed in 2007 in rural South Dakota and had released only two albums in their existence, (“26 Mean and Heavy,” “7 Cremation Ground“) both becoming cult classics. To pick the name and direction of each album, the band blindly draws a card from the Secret Dakini Oracle tarot deck. Truly leaving fate to determine the band’s artistic trajectory. The band has been able to perform at festivals such as Psycho Las Vegas, Stoned Meadow of Doom and Stoner Jam. They released their third studio effort “39 Serpent Power” on Californian label Ripple Music in the summer of 2024.
