Primitive Man
Denver's Primitive Man are one of the most suffocating and sonically devastating acts in American heavy music, fusing doom, death, sludge, and noise into an experience that functions less like music and more like psychological weight. Since forming in 2013 they've released a string of albums — including the landmark 'Caustic' — that have established them as essential figures in the modern extreme metal landscape. Ethan McCarthy's project is defined by a commitment to bleakness so thorough it verges on transformative.
