about

Chowder is nothing if not an amalgam of styles and influences. Since 1992, guitarist Josh Hart and drummer Chad Rush have been writing Chowder's music, bringing together their early exposure to doom metal, progressive rock, and hardcore. Although originally a bass player for the Maryland doom metal bands Revelation and Unorthodox, Hart took to the guitar for writing his own original material. Once original bassist Joe Ruthvin left Chowder for MD doom stalwarts Earthride, Chowder remained in limbo until finding bassist Doug Williams. Doug came to Chowder from the band Next Step Up, a band that would feature at different times all three current members of Chowder. It seemed in the cards that these three skilled musicians would ultimately gel their skills into one band: Chowder.

Born in hardcore, bred on metal, and nourished by prog, Chowder's all-instrumental music allows Josh's precision arrangements and heavy guitar playing, Chad's technical yet propulsive drumming, and Doug's deep bass anchoring to rattle walls and turn heads. Fans of The Obsessed, Unorthodox, Rush, Godflesh, Bad Brains, and Fugazi take notice. Chowder released their debut, self-titled CD on Bland Hand Records in August 2007.

The Earth Is The Insane Asylum of the Universe
by Asylum

Asylum are legendary in Maryland and should be everywhere else too. The first band to combine progressive rock with the doom of Black Sabbath and aggression of Motorhead and punk. Chowder (MD)

Not as refined as their latest releases, but still solid doom metal along the lines of Candlemass, but with a somewhat limited vocal delivery. Thankfully, that changes over the next couple releases. A blast to see how the band's progressed though and this release is still damn good! Nick
