<a href="https://www.facebook.com/AcidkingSF/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Acid King</a> For as loud as their riffs and roars are, Acid King’s legacy is as unassuming as it is enduring, casting a quiet shadow over the underground for over two decades.
Bathed in distortion and baptized in a plume of smoke, the Bay Area trio—Lori S. [vocals, guitars], Joey Osborne [drums], and Mark Lamb [bass]—re-emerged with their first offering in a decade, Middle of Nowhere Center of Everywhere. Receiving widespread critical acclaim, tastemakers such as Noisey, Blabbermouth, Invisible Oranges, Ultimate Guitar, and New Noise lauded the album. They embarked on tours of the States and Australia, appearing on festivals including Psycho Las Vegas, Erosion Fest, Desert Generator, and more as well as sharing the stage with everyone from Sleep and Down to Blue Öyster Cult, Red Fang, and YOB. The record extended a celebrated discography that encompasses three EPs and three full-lengths, namely Zoroaster [1995], Busse Woods [1999], and Acid King III [2005], carving out a foundation back in 1993. It’s no surprise strains of their style infect modern luminaries such as The Sword and Kylesa, and they’ve earned a place in tomes like The Encyclopedia of Heavy Metal and the A to Z of Doom, Gothic &amp; Stoner Metal.
Forever etched in the Acid King Necronomicon, Joey and Mark announced they would each begin their own respective new chapters in late 2016.
 “When we started this band, it was always just about playing music that we love,” exclaims Lori. “Joey and Mark reached a point where they wanted to focus on other aspects of their lives. I wish them the best. It was simply the start of another era.”
 As the proverbial train kept rolling, Lori invited an old friend to join her on the road for a string of shows in 2017. Black Cobra’s Rafa Martinez entered the fold again after assuming bass duties once in 2007. Meanwhile, she tapped the talents of local drummer Bil Bowman behind the kit.
 “The new lineup sounds killer,” she goes on. “We’re carrying on the Acid King’s story.”

 Rifle
 emerged from the metal groundswell of Portland Oregon in
 2009 bent on annihilating the complacency of genre pigeonholes and
 throwback tropes. Their elusive sound contorts and leaps from sludgy
 and psychedelic, to thrash, noise and beyond, accented by vocal
 harmonies and shouts.
 On first listen, many scoff at the possibility that
 such a cacophony could be produced by just two band members, but
 seeing is believing the force that is
 Wizard
 Rifle, and skeptics become
 Kool-Aid guzzling disciples before the altar. Are you next?<a href="https://www.facebook.com/Warishband/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Warish</a>Imagine if Incesticide era Nirvana were crossed with Static Age era Misfits. You’d have sinister low budget horror rock with a visceral, twisted weirdness and bludgeoning riffs. Some might call it nightmarish, we call it Warish. 
Warish is a very newly minted SoCal trio formed in early 2018 that has wasted no time making its presence known. The band formed when guitarist/vocalist Riley Hawk and drummer Bruce McDonnell decided they wanted to try their hand at something more distinct than they’d done previously.
