Coming from the fertile Massachusetts metal scene, Problem with Dragons combines punky, fuzz-laden stoner rock riffs, sludge-filled bass, droning doom metal vocals and science fiction-based lyrics to create perhaps the trendiest metal band in recent memory. But the trio manages to transcend the buzzwords, creating a holistic brand of hard-driving rock & roll that invites easier comparisons to Motorhead or early Metallica than Mastodon or Pallbearer. Consider the outfit a version of The Sword with more street-cred, expressing the time-tested themes of heavy metal through the latest aesthetic rather than mindlessly trend-hopping. They’re pretty loud too.
