XII Boar Go to Town in “Rock City” Video
Hampshire, UK, riff mongers XII Boar will release their debut album, Pitworthy, next Monday, March 9. The full-length follows two EPs and a single and is rife with burl-boogie and dudely, carnivorous groove. When it comes to “Rock City,” the penultimate track on the record before the 11-minute “Quint” closes out, XII Boar are less distinct in their geography than, say, KISS, who were practically selling maps with a logo on them, but with a fervent sludge-blues shuffle, they seem more than content to lead the way there and let their audience follow along. Pied Pipers of Heavytown.
That’s a stretch perhaps — something tells me XII Boar can take a bit of ball-busting — but the song is maddeningly catchy, and where a cut like preceding “Battle Boar” is all metallic tension and build, “Rock City” is more of a standalone in emphasizing the post-Orange Goblin gruffness to which XII Boar bring a Southern metal flair. They’ve got something in the works for this summer — one imagines a UK or European tour — but they’ll play a release show for Pitworthy this Saturday in the meantime, joined by Mother Corona and Steak at the West End Centre in Aldershot. Details on their Thee Facebooks.

ALBUM RELEASED WORLDWIDE: 09 March 2015
Rock City – Taken from the début full-length album ‘Pitworthy’ by UK metal n’ rollers XII Boar (pronounced – Twelve Boar).
XII Boar unleash their first full-length LP, featuring 10 blistering tracks of razor sharp rock and roll for the heavier generation. ‘Pitworthy’ serves up a smorgasbord of groove-laden riffage, irresistibly catchy hooks, straight-to-the-face thrash outs and a bucket-load of hip swaying, booty shakin’ metal.
Recorded at the legendary Parlour Studios by Neil Haynes. Album Artwork by Beak – Six of One. Video shot and produced by Adam Thomas.
