About Keelrider
Years of turmoil separate the wheat from the chaff. Such is
the case with Iceland’s
Keelrider, who since 2015 have been crafting a stoner metal sound that draws
from a broad set of influences. Tastefully fusing everything from southern rock
to prog by way of grunge, they place an emphasis on strong melodies and odd
time signatures. Rather than adhering to the staid tropes of their scene,
Keelrider pushes forward with their distinct take on heavy, guitar-driven
music.
Things started picking up for Keelrider in 2018 when they
released their debut album North and played their first shows to support it.
This led to an invitation onto Iceland’s
national radio station (Rás 2) to discuss their music. Later that year they won
the Unsigned Showcase Showdown on the world renowned "All Things Metal
Podcast." From there the success
only snowballed as North was rated the 4th best heavy release on Iceland's only
heavy metal radio show, and received coverage from metal music publications worldwide.
With a recharged group of guys ready to take on the world,
Keelrider seeks nothing less than to make a lasting impact on the Icelandic
heavy music scene. As new music gets written and recorded, there promises to be
all manner of growth for the band. With every gear finally in motion, Keelrider
promises to be an unstoppable juggernaut. The band is a force to be reckoned
with in the Icelandic scene and is ready to make their mark on the worldwide
stoner metal scene.
