Respectfully following those that came before them, but calling on different influences - blurring the boundaries between
blues, metal and southern rock, Destruction Evolution is creating an evolution
in music through sonic destruction. Part of the emerging force of southern bands
suddenly rediscovering their southern musical roots through metal, Destruction
Evolution makes it heavy - but heavy with a groove. Like so many great bands
before them, Destruction Evolution descends from the Black Sabbath branch of the
Rock/Metal family tree. Taking the heavy, dark Sabbath sound and filtering it
through their own unique combination of influences as diverse as Helmet, David Allen Coe
and Alice in Chains, the resulting concoction ranges from swampy, “sitting on your
front porch in the swamp” type blues metal, to heavy, southern hard rock
balance with a touch of 90’s grunge alternative vibe.
Too heavy to be considered Southern Rock, to bluesy and swampy to be just
metal – for a long time there was no genre that Destruction Evolution would fit
in.
But now there is an emerging genre that blends elements of Doom, Stoner Rock,
Metal and Southern Rock – Southern Metal.
If you want to know what kind of music Destruction Evolution makes: Take a
little Black Label Society, a dash of Alice in Chains, throw
in some Monster Magnet and some Soundgarden, and grind it all
up. Steep this in the dregs of Black Sabbath, and Led Zeppelin
and the resulting concoction is Destruction Evolution.
