16- The Band (Usa) + Gäste - Sludge Doom Metal Urgestein  /  Tickets

Heavy Psych Sounds Records & Booking, der 7er Club und Der Mannheim Kult präsentieren :
-(16)- (USA) Sludge Doom Metal Urgesteine aus Los Angeles
A pioneering American sludge metal troupe based out of Los Angeles, California, -(16)- is credited with helping to shape the seismic hard rock subgenre alongside accordant extreme metal acts like ACID BATH , EYEHATEGOD and CROWBAR.
Founded in 1992, the band issued its debut full-length album, Curves That Kick, in 1993 via hardcore punk/heavy metal scene maker Pushead's independent Bacteria Sour label.
The resulting Bridges to Burn arrived the following year and earned high marks all around. 2010 saw Relapse reissue the group's 1993 debut, and 2012 yielded the band's sixth studio long-player, Deep Cuts from Dark Clouds. In 2014 the band added drummer Dion Thurman and bassist Barney Firks. The punishing Lifespan of a Moth followed in 2016. In 2018, Alex Shuster was added as lead guitarist and subsequently became the in house producer.
Fast forward to 2020 and -(16)- return with their new album, Dream Squasher. A testament to the power of loss, every moment of Dream Squasher casts the now San Diego based band into new, deeper depths.
