Guitarist Keith Merrow — has teamed up with fellow guitarist Wes Hauch — he played in The Faceless on the Autotheism album cycle and recently joined Black Crown Initiate — for a brand new project called Alluvial.
The outfit has an entire album recorded but they’re seeking a vocalist to complete the lineup. So they’ve gone ahead and released one of the album’s songs sans vocals — with a guest solo by Marty Friedman! — to act as a sort of calling card for any vocalists out there who think they might fit the bill.
And it sounds beyond buttery. It’s moody, atmospheric, heavy (musically and emotionally)… it’s every bit the quality progressive death metal you’d expect from this duo. And that’s even without vocals.
