Borne out of a Mercury Retrograde, the stars literally aligned when Holy Death Trio formed in 2016. These Central Texas natives sound like what would happen if Jimi Hendrix played with Black Sabbath while John Dwyer from Thee OhSees set up his pedalboard. Psychedelia rams into hard hitting riffs from this group who love the grind. As one Metal Injection writer put it “"Breathing life back into that heavy blues/stoner rock style, Holy Death Trio fuses the likes of early Rush, Black Sabbath, and Fu Manchu in the heart of the Texas."
