16

Nearly 35 years on, -(16)- remain as one of the most enduring, hardest sounding rock and metal entities from North America. The San Diego band redefines heavy on their new album, Guides For The Misguided. Bobby Ferry returns at the helm as the band's viceral vocalist and guitarist, and in true -(16)- fashion, belts out stories of pain and unhinged anguish Ferry is absolutely seething while the band plows through a virulent mix of rock, metal and sludge. Dion Thurman's pounding drum set, Bobby Ferry and Alex Shuster's heavier-than-anything-else guitars and the lowest low end from bassist Barney Firks herald tones so low they're nearly apocalyptic.

16: Into Dust [CD]

Second Press. Cyan Blue and Blood Red Merge with Cyan Blue, Blood Red and Black Splatter Vinyl.The beastly, throbbing riffs and tortured screams of 16’s now-legendary Drop Out album sent shockwaves through the international music scene upon its ’96 release. It's obvious why over a decade later; the band made visceral anguish, angst, and disillusionment sound downright anthemic. 16 put an ugly, angry face on disenfranchised youth and Drop Out became a touchstone and soundtrack for the next generation of heavy rock trail blazers and trendsetters.

Second Press. Doublemint Green and Swamp Green Merge with Doublemint Green, Swamp Green and Halloween Orange Splatter.Seminal sludge-rockers 16 drop a dozen new hits of misanthropy and spite on their new album Bridges To Burn. Their best album to date, Bridges To Burn spills over with the violent self-loathing that is 16's caustic calling card. Bridges... is a perfect introduction to the band and the definitive prescription for long-time fans awaiting a new dose of 16.
