Wrecking Ball

Dead Confederate

Heavy Southern gothic rock meeting 90s grunge intensity. Reverb-soaked anthems and gravelly vocals recorded with raw, analog warmth in the Texas heat.

It's like if Nirvana grew up in a Georgia swamp and decided to write psychedelic epics.

A heavy, humid blend of Southern restlessness and explosive grunge catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition in 'The Rat' where the melodic bassline gives way to a wall of distorted feedback and primal screaming.
The sprawling, twelve-minute centerpiece 'Flesh Colored Canvas' which dissolves from a steady groove into a psychedelic, atmospheric meltdown.
The way 'Heavy Petting' builds from a slow, menacing crawl into a dense thicket of reverb-drenched guitar layers.
