## Caption

The opening riff to our song, "Butcher," originally started off as a black metal song heavily inspired by Dimmu Borgir (whether they're "black metal" enough or not is subjective...).

We sped it up and turned it into a thrash metal riff-fest, with a guest solo by Jeff Potts (Glyph, Mantic Ritual). 🤘🎸

Listen to "Butcher" on our Cradle to Grave EP. 🎧🎶
