Artists To Watch In 2026: Death Hymn Number 9

 

Formed out of the murky Louisiana Swamp, these four denizens of somnambulance and limited brain power were a former backing band to Motown’s greats, until abandoned at a routine gas stop in Baton Rouge in August 1965. In an act of brazen post-mortem activity, the band soldiered on, focusing their collective rage and wild abandonment issues into a thrashy, gross, fast, groovy, loud, hurt-feeling-fest of garage and punk rock bravado. After emerging from those garbage laden swamp this band went on to kick a whole lot of ass, before once again returning to the cursed soil from whence they had come.

ONLY TO RISE AGAIN this last year, showing you can't keep a good undead band down.

Once again they have returned to haunt Southern California and we couldn't be happier. Maybe we can lure them out with fresh brains and pizza. Keep an eye out.

While you still draw breath you should check out their incredible album, "3RD DEGREE MOON BURNS" Imagine The Cramps wrestling Doo Rag in an electric-fence cage-match at the tail-end of a month-long crystal meth binge.
Yeah... you get it.
