Peregrine

The band describes its sound as "death metal with a twist of hardcore and black metal - but not metalcore." It also "sounds like a feral rage against 10,000 years of domestication and the suppression of wildness in the end times of modernity." Heavy stuff. Heavy band. This is viscous, visceral and vital metal. Guitars and drums annihilate each other with nerve-wracking speed while surprisingly comprehensible guttural growls grind out politically and socially-aware commentary. That's right, metal with a message. You can read the lyrics on the band's MySpace page: www.myspace.com/peregrinemetal.
