about
Formed in Miami, Florida in 2009, Shroud Eater is a brooding three-piece juggernaut blending sludge, doom and stoner metal riffs with gruff howls and intense tribal drumming. Drawing comparisons to High on Fire and Helmet with a Kyuss groove, Shroud Eater have established themselves as a ferocious live act with a uniquely refreshing take on the stoner/sludge/doom metal genre. The trio have self-released a demo in 2009, a full length album in 2011, embarked on several east-coast and Florida-state tours, opened and run an underground music venue in South Florida, and are set to release a new EP in May 2013 via The Path Less Traveled Records.
Shroud Eater has had the pleasure of opening for: Corrosion of Conformity, Corrections House, Kylesa, Floor, Tombs, -16-, KEN Mode, The Atlas Moth, Weedeater, ASG, Cough and MonstrO. Shroud Eater is: Jean Saiz (guitars/vocals), Janette Valentine (bass/back up vocals), and Felipe Torres (drums/percussion) PRESS
"Primordial sludge oozed free from the speakers and wall of amplifiers to the horrified delight of all within earshot ... the song boiled over into an onslaught of swamp-gas-explosive metal and an epic shred session, courtesy of south-pawed singer and guitarist ... the rowdy performance was met by absolute appreciation by the now thoroughly inebriated audience."
Live Review by David Von Bader, Broward New Times, July 2012 "What kind of metal do Shroud Eater play? Is the correct answer all metal? We heard: stoner sludge, '80s-style thrash, and even some supermelodic, D&D power-metal flourishes." Live Review by Matt Preira, Miami New Times, March 2012 "Miami-based raw power trio ... sometimes gruff, sometimes sultry vocals slink and slither over and under the burly, lumbering grooves, recalling a grittier Kylesa or female-fronted High on Fire. Here, there be doom ..." Kim Kelly, Salty Eggs 2012 "This filth has brains" Decibel Magazine, Dec 2011 "Bowel-quaking, low-end rumble and angry she-bear vocals" Terrorizer Magazine, April 2011 "Shroud Eater does right here at every turn" Miami New Times, January 2011 "Roll a big fatty joint, smoke it, and crank these slow, fuzzed out, dirty jamz" Metal Sucks "Riding dirty with granitic riffs, heaving basslines and suckerpunch rhythms" Deciblog |
