Skulls On Fire by Calaveras (BattleKat Records)
Calaveras is a hard rocking American band based in Japan making their way to the States to perform live, including a stop at the world-famous Whisky on the Sunset Strip on January 25th! Included within the ranks of Calaveras are Doug Wilson on lead vocals, Ken Kishi on guitars, Andy Hewett on bass, and Ivan Copelli on drums. Skulls On Fire is the late 2022 release from the almighty Calaveras, and it’s well worth seeking out and/or revisiting.
From the killer opening refrains of Fear to the sheer sonic intensity of Sick and beyond, Calaveras present fiery hard rock artistry of the highest order. Doug Wilson exudes a combustible presence throughout each and every song, delivering the vocals with a ferocious sense of intrigue. Also unleashing the axe assault in nothing short of an epic way is guitarist Ken Kishi. The entire band rocks your world within the realm of Skulls On Fire, and leaves you absolutely breathless. Here’s hoping for new music in this brand New Year – in the meantime, check into Skulls Of Fire and be sure to visit the band at The NAMM Show over at the Highwire Daze Booth!
