IAM3663 i like this, it jams across the board. Favorite track: Black Abyss.

satanslabrat This band is everything I love about music; killer drumming, fat bass, masterful guitar, out of this world vocals, heavy riffs, beautiful melodies, I could keep going. I keep hearing more to love with every listen. Just bought both of this bands releases on the ripple website, I suggest everyone do the same and support this killer band. Keep it up boys!

Jean-Paul DuQuette This is the best stoner rock/metal I've heard in a dog's age. Saw them open for Saxon, and they absolutely killed it. Definitely worth getting. Favorite track: Alien Lust.

about

The dynamic follow-up to their best-selling debut EP for Ripple Music, Black Abyss finds the band tighter and meaner (and more expansive) than ever before. Featuring the masterful mixing of Metal Legend MAX NORMAN (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth, and more) behind the knobs, Black Abyss is a return to the classic metal riffing of yore, soaked in fuzz and dragged head first into the 21st Century.

Gathering together an impressive cast of seasoned players with vocalist Tim Narducci and bassist Cornbread (SpiralArms, White Witch Canyon), Orchid drummer Carter Kennedy and guitarist Jeremy Von Eppic (BlackGates, The Venting Machine) The Watchers is an out-and-out super group of musicians’ musicians and a fitting addition to Ripple Music’s ever growing roster.

One of the most promising rock outfits with a modern twist, if you like SpiralArms and Orchid You will love The Watchers”.
RockHard Germany

“The Watchers act as the bridge between nostalgic metal, the underground scene and rock radio, that so desperately needs a hero.”
That Classic Metal Show

“Old school metal, the 70s meet the 21st century with fury and doom, crank it up while you are traveling on the “Sabbath Highway’!!!”

Family the Smiling Thrush

An amazing album 👍🏻 It took me a while to get into Boss Keloid’s groove. I knew intellectually that it was my kinda music but I didn’t take to Melted On The Inch like I thought I would. I think listening to lots of modern jazz limbered me up! This is really complicated prog rock with heavy ass guitars added for street cred. I’m so happy that anyone might consider this band cool. They’re fucking cool to me but music like this has been vilified in the past. All hail the new Gentle Giant! Crinklechips

So refreshing to hear this sound; groove, great chorus transitions, and technical when it needs to be. Best find of the year so far and a band to watch. David Rothbauer
