EAGLE TWIN

Eagle Twin biography
Formed in 2007, Eagle Twin are an American experimental metal duo from Salt Lake City, Utah. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Gentry Densley (of Iceburn and formerly of Form of Rocket and Ascend) and drummer Tyler Smith (of Bible Black Tyrant and also Form of Rocket), with the two having previously played in Densley's free jazz project Furious Fire some years before. Eagle Twin play a style of avant-garde drone-doom blended with atmospheric sludge metal, blues, progressive rock and jazz fusion influences, with Densley's vocals owing to Tuvan throat-singing and Captain Beefheart in equal measure.

Eagle Twin made their debut with the compilation track Heavy Hooves, which attracted the attention of Sunn O)))'s Greg Anderson, who signed them to Southern Lord in late 2008 and subsequently issued all three of their future LPs. 2009's The Unkindness of Crows, 2012's The Feather Tipped the Serpent's Scale and 2018's The Thundering Heard are loose concept albums intended as allegories of mankind's relationship to nature. With a thematic and symbolistic focus on crows and snakes, Densley describes Eagle Twin's discography as inspired by the universality of myth and informed by Native American folkore, Old Testament stories and poets such as Ted Hughes and Federico García Lorca.

Eagle Twin are stylistically similar to Boris, Neurosis, Orthodox, Om, Kongh, Across Tundras, Dark Castle and Shrinebuilder.
