“This is an assured slab of stylish and progressive extremity from an obscenely talented band with shitloads of potential..” – METAL HAMMER
“Progressive metal outfit Neck Of The Woods have combined deep grooves, technicality and progressive elements and merged them with death metal on their upcoming debut release, The Passenger.” – DECIBEL MAGAZINE
“Their influences come from all over the prog metal spectrum (and beyond), and as such there really is no way to get any more specific. You’ll be tempted to compare them to Opeth, Between the Buried and Me, Soilwork and even Every Time I Die… and then there’s the guitar solo, which some straight up, epic Zakk Wylde shit. And that’s just on this one track from an album of nine.” – METALSUCKS

Inspired by Between The Buried And Me, Opeth, Gojira, Misery Signals, Every Time I Die, Converge, and with a sonic palette as boundary-free as their unique and distinctive name, NECK OF THE WOODS are the most important thing any band can aspire to be…themselves. Guitarist Dave Carr describes their sound as “complex, dynamic, progressive, familiar metal.”
Founded in 2014, and hailing from Vancouver, BC, NECK OF THE WOODS soon released their self-titled debut EP. Earning their dues the old-fashioned way as a band should, they have toured hard, supporting the likes of Converge, Every Time I Die, and Misery Signals along with multiple festival performances at Loud As Hell, Sled Island, Armstrong Metal Fest and Calgary Metal Fest.
Proving that you reap what you sow, their hard work paid off and they signed to UK label Basick Records to release their debut album “The Passenger” in September 2017.
The debut album was recorded at Rain City Recorders and produced by Stu McKillop and the band, with art direction by vocalist Jeff Radomsky and layout design by Kevin Moore at Soft Surrogate. The nine-track offering truly captures the band’s crushing blend of progressive, death-inspired, technical, and groove-laden metal showcased magnificently in their music video “You’ll Always Look The Same To Me”.
Happy with fans reception of their debut album, guitarist Dave Carr comments:
“‘The Passenger’ went over fairly well with fans. It received a lot of good reviews and seems to be musically where people were expecting us to go next. We have always written music to satisfy ourselves creatively as well as technically. Luckily people seem to dig it! Hopefully it takes them on a musical journey.”
Unrelenting in their live performance, NECK OF THE WOODS continues to pound away at the wall of death with tour plans for 2018 across Canada and USA.
Guitarist Dave Carr adds.
“A genuine, high energy, good ass time. We’re always having a blast on stage and it resonates with the crowd. We’ve noticed people are quite engaged with is when we’re on stage. It’s always cool to look out and see people having a great time, but also trying to focus on how we’re playing a riff or song!”
“The Passenger” is available digitally through Basick Records here and on physical CD through the band’s bandcamp here.
