Turtle Skull

I first heard Turtle Skull with their latest release Being Here. Their heavy sound reminded me of Black Sabbath with a gentler approach with the vocals. The lyrics are thought provoking and the songs all rip. The lineup has changed throughout their three albums. However, vocalist and guitarist Dean McLeod alongside drummer and vocalist Charlie Gradon have been at the forefront of the band’s music. Also, the artwork for the band is very cool. Artists Davey Fenn, Graham Yarrington and others have created the visual complement to Turtle Skull. I like listening to music that hits me like a wave while recalibrating my thinking. Turtle Skull does that.
