Sea Of Snakes

SEA OF SNAKES was formed by longtime friends Jeff Murray of The Shrine (drums) and Jim McCloskey of MotorSickle (guitar), and the two were soon joined by heavy-hitting vocalist Tracy Steiger (formerly of Saul of Tarsus) and new-to-town bassist Mick Coffman. In the tradition of Down and C.O.C, Sea of Snakes offers up straightforward, fuzzed-out heavy metal. The grit of bands like Black Flag, Judas Priest, Motörhead, and Alice in Chains is also present in all of Sea Of Snakes’ music. With an aim to “be loud, be heavy, and do what the fuck we want,” Sea of Snakes is well on their way. And on that note, the band signed with Metal Assault Records to release their debut EP, World On Fire, on April 2 2021. An animated music video for the lead single and opening track, “Let The Fire Burn”, was unveiled on March 5, along with the pre-order launch of the EP on digital and physical formats as well as corresponding merch bundles, on seaofsnakesla.bandcamp.com. Sea of Snakes recorded songs for this debut release at the storied Redondo Beach studio, Total Access Recording. The band says, “We had our eyes set on recording at Total Access because of the bands that have recorded their before — like Black Flag, Dio, Black Sabbath, and St. Vitus. Once we had a meeting with (studio owner) Wyn Davis and gave him our demos, he came on to engineer and produce our first EP.”
