First time at BA
While CLOAK might rage against societal conventions, the Atlanta quartet embraces the rebellious and time-tested traditions of heavy metal. Whether it be the conjuring of the chaotic spirit of Swedish black metal purveyors Watain and Dissection, summoning the deep, dark, and sensual groove of Danzig, or evoking the raw speed and raucous energy of Motörhead, the influence of metal’s founding fathers is deep within CLOAK’s DNA. The band’s charm, however, does not merely lie within its romanticism of the past, but rather in the way each of these genres has shaped CLOAK’s own personal identity. And with ‘Black Flame Eternal,’ they continue to strengthen their own unique established sound.
