The Reptilians

Whatever adjectives they might use to describe themselves, Idaho based band The Reptilians have forged their name into the annals of northwest rock and metal. Often compared to bands such as Mastodon, Opeth, Isis, and other modern metal heavyweights, the band has received acclaim from across the globe for both it’s recorded work and live performance.

The Reptilians was formed in 2003 by frontman/guitarist Viktor Wilt and drummer Steve McMichael. The two had performed together since 1997 in a band they formed in high school, Dr. Seuss is Dead. Originally intended to be a side project, as the number of compositions under The Reptilians name began to rapidly increase in the early 2000s the two eventually shifted toward making the new band their primary focus.

Throughout the following decade The Reptilians released multiple albums and solidified their lineup with legendary Idaho guitar virtuoso Joey Labato taking up the lead guitar position alongside the thunderous bass rumblings of Nick McGarvey. Both their 2010 concept album “The Mentalist“ and it's follow up, 2013's 'The Breakers" received critical acclaim in the metal underground upon release and continue to find the band new fans worldwide to this day. In addition to regularly performing throughout the northwest, The Reptilians are currently working on the follow up to The Breakers at The Aedicule Studio, to be released in 2018.
