Hog - Archetypes - Music CD

2011 EP from this Metal act. Rich James never wanted to be 'from the ashes' of anything. The Metal cliche of rising from one demise to another triumph doesn't interest him or any of the other members of Durham's large, lumbering Hog. It's true that three members of this four-piece played in Tooth, which for two years slayed NC clubs with a fast Metal attack that threw out big, beefy riffs with razor-sharp accuracy. Hog aren't making waves with a sudden departure from their former band's sound. Nor are they content to garner respect on the laurels of their past.
