“King Howl Quartet” is the 2012 debut album of Sardinian heavy blues rockers King Howl.
“King Howl Quartet” is an album with 11 tracks, where King Howl shows original songwriting combining the best blues tradition to very different rhythms and progressions, defined by a heavy moving sound always looking at a stoner rock feel. A journey between 8 new unpublished tracks and 3 old blues songs completely revisited one of them (Hard Time Killing Floor), with Francesco Piu on guitars. From crossover grooves (Mornin’) to psycho boogie (Wolfman’s calling) through stoner (My Lord) and smokey atmospheres (Nocturne), an album that smells like a live set, You must play it Louder.

Howling is fundamental. The moan, the passion, the unexplainable strength of blues. Not a music, not only a feeling but a vibe that gives a different color to each day. A way to feel musical notes that makes impossible to perceive the difference between who is playing and who is listening. Through the King Howl, blues find a new way. Sounds coming from the first part of XX century, like those from people like Son House, Muddy Water, Howling Wolf, Robert Johnson, are filtered out and take new shape, combining stoner rock, funk, punk and jazz style in a new crossover labored with spontaneity and naturalness, in a direct way. Their set is is a flow of sounds that never stops, which changes at each song, speaking the blues language, with a different accent every time.
