Bio: With a backstory as epic as their name, Order of the Owl brings some of Atlanta’s most die-hard musicians together in one growling beast of a band.

“....KILLER Sludge from Atlanta : Order of the Owl ORDER O F THE OWL is a kind of majestic wild beast, delivering primarily a powerful, and droning SLUDGE on their excellent ep "In the Noon of the After Day", an ultra massive debut that will crush your soul and guts with long lasting secondary effects. Just like this nocturnal animal, the band's music reveals a multiplicity of caracters : wild, beautiful, aesthetic, dark and majestuously soaring; but there's of course more with an heady, monolithic approach, full of deviant fuzziness. Brent vocals are outstanding, either utterly blackened or turning into some kind of hypnotic "industrialized" incantations ; not to forget also Casey's vicious backing vocals. The tempo is mid-paced, immensely heavy and suffocating which give some moods that could remind sometimes. In The Company Of Serpents and more slightly Dark Castle, while some historic influences like Celtic Frost, The Melvins or Sleep ”

“May 5th – I can’t quite put into words how excited I was for this show. It started off with Panama City’s own Coeur and Death Before Dying. Coeur is really starting to come into their own. Death Before Dying’s new line-up is feeling more cohesive. Order of the Owl was a super special treat. They feature Brent (formally of Zoroaster) who I couldn’t wait to experience live. Order of the Owl are simply fantastic.”

“Order of the Owl releases should come with simple instructions painted clearly on the sleeves: “press play…..stand well back!” Because what emerges from the speakers is a doom jam that recruits all the most primal, brutal and therefore soulful grooves that have been made by cats as righteous as the Motor City 5, Sabbath and Motorhead.”

“1. Going to work: Working on cars is nowhere nearly as much fun as playing guitars. I picked up my paint gun at work the other day and it felt so weird, because I hadn't done it in a while. It was like my hands should be doing something else — playing guitar. 2. The daily routine: Every day on tour you see something new, but since we’ve been back home for the last week all I see is the same depressing drive down Memorial Drive, and when you're away for a while you forget how depressing Memorial Drive looks. Even when you’re driving down the Jersey Turnpike at least it’s something new, and it's a pathway to something greater. 3. Sleeping in my own bed: I don't know if it counts or not, but my bed kind of sucks. Motel 6 has a pretty comfortable mattress for $39 a night. 4. Eating at different places: When you’re in different cities there are different restaurants. I feel like when I’m home I tend to get stuck going to the same five places to eat over and over again — my ”

“I’m presenting this show, so my recommendation is admittedly biased. Honestly, though, this lineup would have drawn my attention anyway. Order of the Owl is one of my favorite live bands in town right now. They deliver thunderous doom metal through a cloud of heavy psychedelia, and it’s best heard live and loud as hell. The support is awesome, too, Mind Powers (from Columbus, GA) play frenzied noise-punk reminiscent of Mclusky and anything Steve Albini’s ever been in, and locals And That Is Why effectively nail the back-to-basics punk thing. Plus, it’s hard to have a bad time at The Cottage. Come on out.”

“Few folks outside the band's inner circle know it, but Order of the Owls future has been in limbo for a while. Bassist Brent Anderson (ex-Zoroaster) went off to Germany to do some soul-searching and wasn't sure if he'd return. But now he's back and ready to breathe new life into the Owls' thunderous and scorched metal roar. For this show the group reconvenes its permanent three-piece lineup, featuring Anderson, Corey Pallon (drums), and Casey Yarbrough (guitar).”

“As mentioned many times on this blog, I’m always on a crusade to get more bands to play in Chattanooga. When I found out through Unspoken Triumph front man Ian Sharp that Savagist and Order of the Owl were going to play a show together here in town, I naturally got excited. Savagist, from Athens, is a band I had seen before (check out my review of one of their recent ATL gigs HERE), but Order of the Owl would be a new experience.”

“Zoroaster's Brent Anderson fronts the sludgy, druggy Atlanta supergroup Order of the Owl, whose menacing blend of doom rock riffage and spaced out psychedelia sounds like the worst of trips -- in a good way. ”

— Gabe Vodicka, creative loafing

“While in exile from Zoroaster, Anderson is putting together a new group, Order of the Owl, with drummer Corey Pallon (Pistolero, Hell Comes to Town). They are currently trying out guitar players but their history together reaches all the way back to the late '80s when they played together in a band called Terminal Doom Explosion. "We were playing sludge and grindcore at a time when this town wasn't ready for it," Anderson says. "It's going to be heavy because that's the only way I know how to play. I'm not in Zoroaster right now, and we'll see how it goes when the time comes, but until then I gotta keep playing."”

“Well, last night the group finally posted the first mastered single from their upcoming five-song debut, In the Noon of the After Day. So does it live up to the (admittedly self-created) hype? The answer would be an emphatic yes. “Cocaine Super Demon” is a hard-boiled, bluesy stomper driven by Yarborough’s buzzsaw guitars and an all-encompassing psychedelic aura that lifts the song from the general ranks of stoner and doom metal that’s content to allow some detuned distortion and a few sludgy riffs define its sound. You won’t hear the plodding drumming or meandering solos so typical of the genres and despite the title there’s no frantic up-tempo heaviness either. This is loud, bruising, groove-centered rock, a rumbling juggernaut that’s as melodic as it is forceful. There is as much Zeppelin here as, say, Sleep, and it’s that sort of versatility that makes their music (well, at least this song) so potent.”

““Cocaine Super Doom” is a goddamn monster of a track that reinforces what was already obvious to anyone who has seen these guys live: ”
