BIO
Formed in Toronto, Canada during the spring of 2010, BIBLICAL is the roar of mountains splitting and oceans parting.
In 2011 BIBLICAL released a self-titled EP that delighted rock fans with a blast of tense garage metal, lathered in minor-key twang. POP MATTERS called the release “a grand debut”, while stoner aficionados THE OBELISK praised the band’s sound, noting “BIBLICAL‘s swagger is definitely their own.”
In 2014, the group released their full-length debut MONSOON SEASON. The album explored themes of loss and the weathering of storms, against a backdrop of crushing psychedelic sludge. Lauded by PITCHFORK as a “climactic, Red Sea-parting surge of narcotic guitar noise”, MONSOON SEASON earned critical acclaim from both metal and indie outlets alike. METAL SUCKS pegged the album as “an early contender for year-end-list honors”, while KEXP SEATTLE praised the band as “apocalyptic rock and roll, worthy of the lasting canon.”
2017 saw BIBLICAL release their second full-length THE CITY THAT ALWAYS SLEEPS. The product of almost 2 years in the studio, the album was BIBLICAL at its weapons-grade best, leveraging rhythm, dynamics and atmosphere to explosive effect. Steeped in cinematic imagery and sound, the album spun tales of revenge, existential dread and grim inevitability. ALL MUSIC GUIDE selected the release as an Editor’s Choice, saying “the eight-track set delivers both atmosphere and power”. THE OBELISK also came away impressed, calling it “bold in reach and tightly executed. There isn’t a moment here that doesn’t brim with the fullness of its realization.” METAL HAMMER agreed, calling the album “an utterly hypnotic voyage” that lacked “neither vision nor ambition”.
BIBLICAL is now in-studio, completing their third LP.
