It sounded good on the basis of one listen, although I didn't vote for it.

is this black metal?― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie),
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie),
hah, no.
First released in 2002, here is the original description of the album:
City of Caterpillar's debut LP is finally here. The 7 tracks spread out over 44 minutes sway with hypnotic fury and a nervous energy and passion lacking in a lot of bands these days. I personally have been waiting for this record since my former band played with them a couple years ago and they totally schooled us. It was one of those shows where you can't even think straight after and you want to stop playing guitar after they play because you'll never get it as right as they have. I eagerly checked my mailbox for the master once it had been recorded and once it arrived it proceeded to own my stereo for a month straight.
City of Caterpillar have been touring like crazy leaving many wondering, "where the fuck did these guys come from?" Sure the members play or have played in a number of well known and seminal bands, but listing them is redundant as City of Caterpillar have come into their own without riding on the coattails of previous projects. It's obvious they're not new to writing and playing as their live shows and recordings are consistently too strong to simply be attributed to an accident or luck. This is the record that will make even the most jaded hipster take notice and start listening to hardocre again (whether we want them to our not)

Is this the band that sounds like Explosions in the Sky but with Henry Rollins on vocals?

lmao i was literally gonna say those words just now

Not that that's a bad thing, mind

If anybody likes City of Caterpillar then they should check out Malady. It's one of the guys from them + the singer from PG 99.I think Robotic Empire reissued it this year
or you can listen/but digitally here https://thearchivistlabel.bandcamp.com/album/malady

I was in the middle of 'When was the last time...' and was like damn this sounds like explosions in the sky w hardcore vocals (so not exactly but close enough) xp

I knew at least one punk purist who was a bit miffed at this album which very much helped cement its appeal
