There are two types of bands on the road: One that lives and breathes tour life, and one that cannot wait for the ride to be over. BRONCO fall distinctly in the former category, as the doom metal and Southern sludge trio, which formed from the ashes of TOKE, unleash a heavy ode to the road in “Ride Eternal.” The crushing debut single, which hits the streams today (December 4), will be featured on the North Carolina band’s forthcoming Magnetic Eye Records self-titled debut album, out in February. “The track ‘Ride Eternal’ came from a period of heavy rumination about going from living on tour to forced acceptance of that part of life being over,” states vocalist and bassist Bronco. “It was inspired by classic baroque organ tales like Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor and also wanting to do some heavy drone riffing without falling over bored while playing it.” Get in the van below.
