the Awesome NEW HEAVY SOUNDS have done it again with there brilliant new Signing ANTLERED MAN

London quartet Antlered Man offer up a 40 minute slab of rock that will leave you quivering in its wake.

The world was introduced to Antlered Man last year with debut album ‘Giftes 1&2’. Rave reviews and award nominations followed the release, along side 100+ tour dates and 15 festivals in 2012 alone.

With influences spanning The Melvins, Tool, Mike Patton, Shellac & Clutch, their unique mix of punk, metal, prog, hardcore and alt rock was quick to translate in to packed tour dates, including EU tours with And So I Watch You From Afar and multiple gold record selling Triggerfinger. This accumulated in a nomination for ‘Best Live Act’ at the 2012 Artrocker Awards.

At the beginning of 2013 the band recorded down LP#2 ‘This Devil Is Them’ with Belfast based ASIWYFA producer Rocky O’Reilly. A heavier and stranger beast than the first, ‘This Devil Is Them’, takes the band to new territories. Sub 3:30 tracks like ‘My Surname My Cum’ hit you hard and fast, 10:24 progressive epic ‘Audition Tapes For Hades’ delivers in orchestral proportions and ‘Phoney Tough’ has a hook that will drive you insane. Dark, weird and wonderful – unique is an overused word in the music business, however the variety and skill on display here is nothing short of groundbreaking.

With another award nomination as ‘Best New Band’ at this year’s Classic Rock PROG ‘Progressive Music Awards’, the band are on an upwards curve.

One thing you can be sure of is that you won’t hear another record like this, ever. If it sounds this good on record, what will happen when the band return to their live element?

‘This Devil Is Them’ is released on 14th October through New Heavy Sounds (Black Moth, Cut Yourself in Half, Limb).

Look sharp, soldier.
