FREE DOWNLOAD: The Swan King's New EP, "Pay To Pray"

By Jon Graef in Arts & Entertainment on Sep 14, 2012 3:20PM

Local metal act The Swan King's strong 2011 effort Eyes Like Knives showed the trio playing with a loose, raw feel like grunge in its halcyon Sub Pop days, but with chops suggesting thrash-and-speed metal influences. If that sounds up your alley, then download immediately the band's recently released Pay To Pray EP, which is a raw, quick and dirty blast repeat of what made Eyes Like Knives great. Play it loud.

Stream it here, or download at the band's Bandcamp page.
