Thou / Yautja

Thou is a metal band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Though oftentimes misread as „post rock“ or „hipster doom“ or lumped in with the Southern sludge, Black Sabbath-worship of New Orleans and Metairie bands like Eyehategod, Crowbar, or Acid Bath–they share a more spiritual kinship with 90s proto grunge bands like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, or Soundgarden and the aesthetic and political impulses of obscure 90s diy Ebullition Vermiform hardcore punk. Since its inception in 2004, the band has released five full length albums, seven EPs (some bordering on full lengths), two collaboration records with The Body, and enough material spread out over splits to make up another four or five full lengths.
