Prowler Posts Ramones Cover
To be featured on forthcoming second full-length album "From The Shadows," South Carolina thrashers Prowler posted a new single and tribute to iconic punk rock outfit The Ramones. Check out "Pet Sematary" below.
The band comments: "This is the perfect punk song for us as a band to cover and crossover (punk metal) being that we write songs about classic horror movies. 'Pet Sematary' the movie, by Stephen King, is a classic in itself and since the last original Ramones member, Tommy, passed away back in 2014, we figured what a perfect tribute to give to the band that basically defined the punk rock sound, The Ramones!
"The Ramones influenced not just only the punk genre, but metal and other genres as well with their melodic and hooky choruses along with the raw energetic, distorted, blistering sound of their early years. All of us in Prowler are influenced by The Ramones in our own way musically. That raw live feel comes out in our live music as well as on our records. So what better song for us to cover than 'Pet Sematary'? We sincerely hope that Ramones fans will appreciate our version just as much as the classic!" More...
Prowler Comes Out "From The Shadows"
Is it fair to state that as metalheads we spend a lot of our time checking out new records? Hunting out the next big thing that we can introduce our friends to, something new, and something that evokes the feelings we once got on an almost daily basis back in the day when first discovering metal?
However, on occasion we’re brought back to the classics, the old Metallica records, early Annihilator and so forth; the exact records we discovered on the voyage of metal discovery. Yet sometimes those old classics just don’t quite hit the spot... And that’s exactly what makes bands such as Prowler a breath of fresh fucking air. Everything we’ve heard before is there, it’s familiar, but it’s new and that’s the fundamental difference.
Formed in 2010, Prowler went on to release four EP’s and a box set before signing to Slaney Records to release debut album "After You" in 2013, and "The New Blood" EP later that same year. The thrash titans hailing from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina are now on the verge of unleashing yet another beast of a record, their second full-length, entitled "From The Shadows." Overseen by Roger Lian, the same man that was responsible for Slayer's "South Of Heaven" and countless others including Overkill, Pantera and Damageplan; you can be assured a great production. More...
