HOWLING GIANT blast forth a cosmic convergence of pulpy sci-fi themes and blistering psych-metal.   Across numerous tours and festival appearances, three EPs and their first full album, the trio harness heavily nuanced progressive riff-rock complemented by otherworldly storytelling and the enduring message that the universe in which we live could stand to loosen up.  They deliver this message from stages far and wide as often as possible.
