Tau Cross
Tau Cross is not your average metal band. Formed in 2013 by Amebix’s Rob "The Baron" Miller and Voivod’s Michel "Away" Langevin, this supergroup brings together a unique blend of crust punk and progressive metal that has captivated fans around the world.
With Miller’s distinctive growls and poetic lyrics, Tau Cross explores themes of environmentalism, politics, and spirituality while delivering a sonic assault that is both aggressive and sophisticated. Langevin’s complex drum patterns and atmospheric soundscapes provide the perfect backdrop for Miller’s intense vocals, creating a sound that is both melodic and menacing.
Their self-titled debut album, released in 2015, received critical acclaim for its raw energy and intelligent songwriting. Tracks like "Fire in the Sky" and "We Control the Fear" showcase Tau Cross’s ability to seamlessly blend crushing riffs with thought-provoking lyrics.
Despite their impressive pedigree, Tau Cross is not content to rest on their laurels. Their 2017 album, "Pillar of Fire," saw the band pushing boundaries even further, experimenting with new sounds and incorporating elements of post-punk and gothic rock.
Tau Cross is a band that defies easy categorization. Their music is hard-hitting and intense, but also deeply thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. With their blend of old-school punk ethos and forward-thinking musical experimentation, Tau Cross is a band that is truly in a league of their own.
