Death Alley

The lifespan of Death Alley was rather brief, really -- formed in 2013, gone by 2019, with two albums released in 2015 and 2018. And it's not like these guys lit up the world popularity-wise, they came and went seemingly without a trace. And that's a shame, since Death Alley was one of those undiscovered gems that reak of originality and charm, deserving of a better fate than relegation to unknowns. Style-wise, there are noticeble 70's rock influences, with a fair bit of stoner flair, the occasional occult-ism (the guitarist came from seminal occult metallists The Devil's Blood), and a loose, progressive, jammy style that is a joy to behold. And the two albums, while clearly cut from the same cloth, are noticeably different, with Black Magick Boogieland the more upfront, slightly punky of the two, while Superbia ups the ante with more progressive songwriting and a slightly more diverse, laidback style. Would love to have heard more from these guys.
