Thou is a metal band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Though oftentimes read as “post rock” or “hipster doom” or lumped in with the Southern sludge, Black Sabbath-worship of New Orleans and Metairie bands like Eyehategod, or Crowbar, they also share a spiritual kinship with ’90’s proto-grunge bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains or Soundgarden and the aesthetic and political impulses of obscure ’90’s DIY punk band Ebullition Vermiform. They’ll be joined by psych-folk guitarist and songwriter Emma Ruth Rundle and local gothic-flavored indie group Ancient Warfare.
