Hailing from Buffalo New York, Pollock is an ambient metal/hard rock band with intense rhythms and unique time signatures. The vocals borrow elements from poetry, the occult, and mythology, making a blend of melodies that envelope the listener. When accompanied by their dynamic stage presence, the music is reminiscent of the band’s namesake Jackson Pollock, and the idea of bringing an art form to life. Awash in a sea of cerebral percussion and emotional swells, Pollock continues to bring the heavy and huge sound that has become the band's trademark. The band combines the sonic mass of bands like Mastodon and Baroness with the elegant complexity and technicality of bands like Tool and Protest the Hero, then top it off with Billy Corgan-esque songwriting. Intricate and driving verses hook the intellect, and then explode into lush, expansive choruses. The ever changing mood of the songs is enhanced by layers of strings and percussion; a unique sound that is simultaneously dark, uplifting, heavy, and like a dream.
