Purveyors of their own genre-blurring sound Thrash Grass, THE NATIVE HOWL have breathed new life into JohnnyCash‘s brooding ‘God’s Gonna Cut You Down’ with their fresh reimagination of the song and accompanying music video, available now via Sumerian Records.
On the release of the new single and video, the band comment:
“It was a privilege to honor Johnny Cash by following Frankie Nasso’s vision for this project. This song and video have a very different tone than anything in our repertoire thus far, and the writing/arrangement process was just as unique to us. We are grateful to Jay Ruston for helping us capture the studio magic of its’ assembly, and create a new Howl soundscape, of which we are very proud!”
After winning Season 1 of the hit TV series No Cover and signing with Sumerian Records, the band released tracks ‘Can’t Sleep’, ‘Sons Of Destruction’, and most recently, ‘Mercy’ featuring the inimitable Lzzy Hale of Halestorm.
About THE NATIVE HOWL
THE NATIVE HOWL are a genre-defying quartet hailing from Leonard, Michigan, USA. Their fast-tempo music they’ve coined as “Thrash Grass” combines the aggression and intensity of thrash metal with the precision and melodicism of bluegrass. The band was born from a musical experiment that defied all expectations by blending elements of folk, bluegrass, rock, and metal, resulting in a sound entirely their own. With a dash of outlaw spirit and a touch of the wilderness, their music transports listeners to a sonic landscape where the traditional meets the contemporary. From foot-stomping bluegrass jams to lightning-fast metal-esque banjo picking, their tracks are a musical thrill ride that keeps the listener guessing with each note. Their lyrics often explore the dark sides of the human condition, nature, and the trials of life, creating a deep and personal connection with their audience.
