Electric Valley Records, in conspiracy with The Cosmic Peddler, presents Peth’s debut album “Merchant of Death” due out May 27, 2022 digitally and on multiple variations of vinyl. Stream the single “Abolish The Overseer” through the YouTube player below:
Central Texas is well known for its underground Heavy Rock’n’Roll from the late ‘60s,’70s, and ‘80s: — a series of sounds different than any other place on earth have been originated and evolved from here time and time again. Fast forward some 50 years later and there are still the same hell-raisin, beer-drinking, guitar-slinging Rock’n’Cowboys makin some noise in the Lone Star! Hence, it’s no surprise that in the 21st century, a band like Peth come along and start making some big ‘70s Texas noise!
Born in the middle of the 2020 pandemic, these four native Texans have been doin all the maniacal and lawless exploits with a wild mix of early ‘70s Proto-Metal and Heavy Psych/Occult Rock soundscapes matched to that of early Black Sabbath, Scorpions, Medusa, Venom, Blue Cheer, Pentagram, ZZ Top, and the likes. Conjuring evil guitarmonies (what they call guitar harmonies), explosive trucking bass and drum section, and two knock-out vocalists, Peth truly help preserve the spirit of Texas’s old way of life while helping usher in this new era of Rock’n’Roll for generations to follow.
Peth’s debut LP “Merchant of Death” is a hidden gem of the ‘70s/’80s Metal invasion, but got discovered in the 21st century. The album in part brings menacing aggressions, in part brings breathtaking rhythms, but steers clear of the modern, lustrous sonic aesthetics. Roll out the red carpet for “Merchant of Death” and revel in the wilderness.
