Too heavy to be considered Southern Rock, too bluesy and swampy to be just metal, for a long time there was no genre where Destruction Evolution would fit...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, just 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 & Led Zeppelin - the resulting concoction is Destruction Evolution.

Bio

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 mix ranges from swampy, sitting on your front porch rocking chair type blues metal, to heavy, southern hard rock balanced with a touch of 90s grunge alternative vibe.
