This is a duo project, featuring “twin” brothers 5 FOOT GIANT and DEFECTIVE MONK. Their new album “Into the Caldera”, is scheduled for release in the Fall of 2024.
These brothers got together in mid 2023 to make an extremely aggressive album, after seeing death/thrash metal bands like Septic Flesh, Kataklysm, Death Angel, and Deicide, it reminded them of the good old days of thrash metal’s hay day, and have always loved. So, they decided to base their music off of this genre and sprinkle in electronic, techno, and industrial vibes to it, to make it their very own.
As of now, they released their first single “Ghost Stirrin’ (In the Pit)” back on April 5, 2024, with a good vibe and receptiveness to this 1st single.
Now… they have released their second single “Bottleneck” on July 12, 2024. Giving a steady does of thrash metal influence, but with a more Rob Zombie’ish feel to the thrash metal.
With that being said, this duo is ready to take on the world and the critics.
