War Cloud

With a 2014 ignition in Oakland, California, War Cloud has left a smoking path across much of the USA and Europe. Formed and led by Alex Wein (vocals, guitars) he has I’m concentrated the troops in Austin, Texas with Nick Burks on guitar, Sam Harman on bass and Joaquin Ridgell on drums. They’ve become classic heavy metal torchbearers for fans of Motorhead, KISS, Thin Lizzy and Judas Priest. This had led to embracing their recognizable dual guitar harmonies, speed metal licks, and motor revving rhythms that are fueled with NWOBHM magic to inspire the fire. This is heavy metal for longhairs who love fast cars, motorcycles and rip roaring good times turned up to 11.
