Graveyard Rodeo

One of the early pioneers of the now-infamous NOLA scene, Graveyard Rodeo dated back as far as 1979 and at one time featured future Corrosion Of Conformity guitarist Pepper Keenan in its ranks. They finally managed to record a debut album, Sowing Discord In The Haunts Of Man, in 1993, but they broke up almost immediately afterward. Founding member Tommy Scanlan later recruited an almost entirely new lineup to record an album for contractual reasons, that being On The Verge, released in 1994. By 1997 they had had enough and the band disbanded again, then reformed in 2007, but haven't been heard from since. Their style embodied the trademarks of NOLA metal, that being hardcore-ish vocals over intense, heavy riffing.
