Artist Black Lamb

  • Black Lamb, Denver, Brian Hagman

Denver’s Black Lamb was born of punk rock. But the stalwart group has mutated over the years into a grizzled, whiskey-guzzling force of nature, taking all the psych weirdness of ’70s rock revival and beating it into a grimy pulp of dirty barroom metal. Frontman Brian Hagman grunts and bellows like Danzig on a Deep Purple bender, and the early recruitment of Myke Martinez (of Grease Machine) has only sharpened and sickened the band’s bruising grooves and beyond-stoned riffs.
