Description

“Oxbow is the best band in the world that you will most likely hate; a harrowing, ugly and unflinchingly confrontational amalgam of heavy blues rock, noise, and naked, howling emotion that sends even the most jaded listeners running for the nearest confessional.”

On The Narcotic Story, the follow-up to their 2002 release An Evil Heat, "sociopathic frontman Eugene Robinson’s lyrics read uncharacteristically spare… but he infuses them with so much violence, hysterical fervor and sexuality that the performance completely transcends the words on the page. Oxbow may be maturing in their approach but they are no less tame, no more satisfied. Their drug-addled masculine disappointment continues to decimate everything in its path, being at once a fiercer, more epic, and more disturbingly emotive than any of their current labelmates; and yet they remain ostracized, prowling the shadowy hinterlands of post-metal like a deranged predatory animal.”
