Eagle Twin premiere first single on Decibel Magazine!
“Six years after their last album, The Thundering Heard, Eagle Twin are streaming the first song from Legends of the Desert. Titled »Horn Vs. Halo«, vocalist Gentry Densley’s low rumble matches the loud, distorted tone of his guitar.” — Emily Bellino (Decibel)

“Well, a lot of it comes from “the riff” and the whole tradition of “the riff”. It’s something that I’ve become more conscious of – from Page and Iommi, down through people like Wino – the whole idea of people channelling “the riff”. I’m also interested in myths and mythology and the creation of myths, the scale of the universal consciousness and how these same stories pop up over the years – the whole idea of collective memory and looking at riffs the same way; the real language of “the riff”. I also wanted to do more storytelling so there are probably influences from a lot of blues artists and also a lot of Mahavishnu influences; harmonically, I just started thinking about putting some more of that in, and there are elements of fusion jazz as well.” — Gentry Densley

Eagle Twin is an American metal band formed in Salt Lake City, Utah by singer/guitarist Gentry Densley and drummer Tyler Smith. Eagle Twin’s music could be broadly classified as doom metal or sludge metal, but also touches on progressive rock, blues rock, jazz fusion and psychedelic rock, featuring lengthy instrumental passages and Densley’s gruff, half-chanted vocals, which occasionally veer into overtone singing.
»Legends Of The Desert« series is the soundtrack to the New Wild West. The focus of the Legends of the Desert is to provide a modern perspective to the antiquated ‘Wild West’ we have etched in our brains. These songs and tales are not told by the same ol’ perspective of the white male Cowboy. These are narratives told by those who never got their stories heard. We will hear from musicians, artists, Natives, outlaws, desert rats, desert dwellers, cactuses and mesas, ravens and roadrunners, snakes and endless skies.
Joshua Mathus, the series artist, hails from Phoenix, AZ. Illustrator of album covers and comic books, and prints.
