Duel interview METALLOID Magazine

“Super heavy tripped out old school stoner metal from Austin, TX” (quote from Duel’s bandcamp)

Duel is a band that tips their hat heavily to the greats of pure 70’s hard rock with great vocals, psychedelic fuzz distortion and lyrics evoking witchcraft, the occult, drugs and more. Their music is certainly rooted in old school hard rock, but with their own unique twist cranked up a few notches, with a dash of Southern Rock. This is a band that comes highly recommended from myself discovering them with their debut album Fears of the Dead and their first cut on the album also called Fears of the Dead with just a great introduction to their sound and vibe.

With Duel’s latest release Valley of Shadows, their 3rd studio release kicks off with an epic tale making you want to put your fist in the air dubbed Black Magic Summer. With a runtime of 37 mins the album moves along leaving you thinking “Oh!.. It’s already over?!” (in a good way)

A particular trait of Duel is that I can throughly enjoy putting on a Duel albums only playlist and enjoy it through its entirety. No tracks to speak of to skip as their music can swell and retract with no sign of letting up the heaviness. The band seems to really trim the fat with all of their albums and give you jams you can’t help but want to nod your head, hit the road, drink a beer or take a toke.

These fellas just rock.

I got to virtually sit down with the band and cover various topics of music, the band and looking forward to their livestream session coming at you Saturday, May 30th, @ 3pm American Central Standard.

Make sure to check is all out and support the band by purchasing music and merch.
