Press / Reviews

“Black Tooth Grin’s sound draws heavily from the swampy, groove-laden traditions of Southern metal while incorporating the dense, punishing elements of sludge. This combination creates a sonic landscape that’s both brutally heavy and surprisingly melodic, characterized by aggressive riffing that hits like a sledgehammer and live performances that crackle with raw energy.”
