Eagle Claw - Timing Of The Void (CD)

Eagle Claw:  Austin, Texas.

Austin TX's instruMETAL outfit EAGLE CLAW plays heavy, loud music. Dynamic and engaging, but ultimately all things metal.  

Comprised of the dualistic soundscapes of guitarists, Matt Rade and Michael Gonzalez, the searing low end fuzz of bassist Alec Padron, and the relentless pounding of Bart Butler's drumming, the band is best known for their high energy live performances.

In 2012, the band released their much anticipated sophomore album, "Timing of the Void.” Featuring 8 monolithic tracks, the record’s title and overarching theme is based on “The Book of Five Rings”, a text on Kenjutsu and the martial arts, written by Japanese swordsman Miyamato Musashi, circa 1645. In a recent news item published on Eagle Claw, the Austin Chronicle wrote, "Like Musashi, the local quartet's instrumentals are dually Zen and violent, and their timing and attack is martial. Not just a titular reference, the swordsman's lessons are the basis for the music on Timing of the Void.”
