Howling Giant Releases "Juggernaut" Video
Howling Giant dishes out a jar full of spicy news today. First helping is a hot sauce-filled video clip for the yummy track "Juggernaut" taken from the band's current album "Glass Future." Next on the menu is a tasty US tour in spring 2024 in support of The Obsessed. For dessert and the icing on the cake, Howling Giant announces a new band member, James Sanderson. You can check out the video below.
"The video for 'Juggernaut' focuses on the real star of the Howling Giant universe, our hot sauce," drummer and singer Zach Wheeler writes. "Crafted in the fires of Pittsburgh, PA by our good friend Chad at Riff Zealot, we bring you: Bunker Sauce and Pioneer Pineapple hot sauce! These are the real reasons that got us into music in the first place. What are we if not traveling hot sauce salesmen?"
Howling Giant will embark on an extended US tour as direct support for The Obsessed in March and April this spring. The now quartet from Nashville, TN will hit the roads in support of their highly acclaimed current album "Glass Future," which is also the official introductory round for new rhythm guitarist and backing vocalist James Sanderson.
Howling Giant also welcomes their new member: "James started working with us while we were writing 'Masamune', helping break down lyrical barriers and working on song arrangements, and followers of our online shenanigans might recognize him as the Dungeon Master in our streamed D&D campaigns", drummer and vocalist Zach Wheeler reveals. "We are stoked to welcome James officially into the Howling Giant fold, and can hardly wait to show off the four-piece fury that we'll be bringing forth on our upcoming run with The Obsessed and Gozu. See you all on the road!" More...

Howling Giant Streaming EP, Announces Tour Dates
Writing tunes about space travel, doomed seafarers, and a sentient android hellbent for a camel killing death crusade, Nashville's Howling Giant returns with "Black Hole Space Wizard: Part 2," due out August 25th. The EP is now available for streaming and can be heard below. Drummer Zach Wheeler comments:
"Hopefully for our returning fans, it is accepted with open arms and an open mind. As Part 2 of the 3 piece saga, this EP was meant to focus on the travels and trials of The Pioneer, protagonist, and last of mankind. The music reflects his growth and self discovery on a post-apocalyptic planet Earth.
"To new fans/fresh ears, we’d like to invite them into the Black Hole Space Wizard universe through fat stomping riffs, spacey grooves, accessible vocal melody and juicy, pulpy sci-fi madness. We always try to refine our song writing and take one step into new territory with each release, pulling stylistically from whatever inspires us in the moment. Our recorded music is our best interpretation of the sounds we hear in our heads, and our goal is to make our sonic visions clearer with each release." More...
