The Black Clouds

Fray

Sounds like: Nirvana, Metallica, The Melvins
I don't know about you, but I don't mind that in 2013, I'm still coming across bands making new music that takes me back to genres that were birthed decades ago.Take a splash of Nirvana and a spoonful of Metallica and you've got The Black Clouds. Their sound is heavy and raw, bringing it back to the way rock and metal started out. The Black Clouds have got the quintessential grungy hard rock set up: electric guitars (both rhythm and lead) on full blast, booming drawn out bass, heavy drums, and, of course, the heart-wrenching, angst-inducing vocals that make you want to clench your fists. But there's an obvious sensitive side within the hardness, as shown in their single, "Fray."Don't forget to grab The Black Clouds' CD, Better Days, and let the inner hard rock/metal head within you come out.
