Music news Chopper drops debut CD this month
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 11:28 PM
Atlanta punk metal trio Chopper crafts a heavy handed dirge that claims influences from a broad palette of many manly musics.
Everything from such classic rock icons as Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Led Zeppelin, Motorhead, Jimi Hendrix and so on, tempered with a modern hardcore/metal edge that’s sharpened by the likes of Converge, Mastodon, Entombed and Unsane fit the bill. But the music is not wihtout a sense of humor, that usually evokes something to do with wizards, Mel Gibson, mythical beats or all of the above.
The group’s debut, 10-song full-length, Born to Ride…or Die hits the streets this month on drummer Lamar George's new label, Dark Wolf Records.
A CD release show is currently in the works and will be announced on Crib Notes very soon.
