Alabama Thunderpussy

One of those bands with a name you just can't forget, Alabama Thunderpussy have been ripping it up for years, with their earlier releases on the stoner label Man's Ruin before signing to Relapse in 2002. Reviewed here is their 2007 Open Fire effort, their first with former Exhorder frontman Kyle Thomas at the mic. The band deals in gritty, raw metal with a clear Southern edge (no real shock there, as Alabama is right there in the name), with Thomas turning one of his better vocal performances, his gritty voice a perfect match for the hardened riffing. These guys have had a loyal underground following for quite some time, and Open Fire proves the devotion and acclaim is well deserved.

After a quiet period following the release of Open Fire, coupled with Thomas' departure to return to Exhorder, the band officially announced its amicable breakup in the fall of 2008.
