Wick

Description

Its 2017 and after making perhaps the toughest album of their career, Royal Thunder are coming out swinging. The Atlanta based four-piece (Mlny Parsonz bass/vocals, Josh Weaver guitar, Evan Diprima drums, Will Fiore guitar), once memorably described as playing, a revved-up Southern hard rock that howls like Led Zeppelin astride a psychedelic unicorn, are, with WICK, reaching their tipping point. Following 2007s self-titled EP (reissued four years later by Relapse Records), 2012s CVI and 2015s critically acclaimed Crooked Doors, Royal Thunders fourth release is an accumulation of shared experience, musical and otherwise, making art out of adversity and imbued with a new melodic succinctness thats borne out of a band whove spent the last few years growing up together.

Atlantas Royal Thunder have emerged as one of the citys greatest rock acts in recent memory, playing a kaleidoscopic, psych-tinged brand of folk-inflected, bluesy rock n roll.
