Thou is a sludge/doom metal band hailing from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Formed in 2005, the band has been making waves in the heavy music scene with their unique sound and intense live performances.
The current lineup consists of Matthew Thudium, Andy Gibbs, KC Stafford, Mitch Wells, Tyler Coburn, and Bryan Funck. With three guitarists providing a wall of crushing riffs, a solid bass foundation, thunderous drums, and powerful vocals, Thou creates a sonic experience that is both haunting and cathartic.
Influenced by bands like The Body, Indian, Cough, YOB and Grief among others; Thou has carved out their own niche within the genre. Their music combines elements of sludge metal with doom metal to create an atmosphere that is dark and brooding.

Back In Stock

 All of the songs on A Primer of Holy Words appeared on limited pressings of various split EPs and benefit compilations. The range of bands being covered is wide: Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains from abandoned tribute projects; Born Against from a small press European compilation; Ginger Quail, an obscure New Orleans punk band from the late 90s; and so on. Regardless of their standing in the civilian world, all of these bands and songs have had a strong imprint on Thou-- much more so than "sludge" or metal in general or "the swamp" of New Orleans.
