Order of the Owl returns to 529’s hallowed stage Wed., Nov. 19, this time with new drummer Dwayne Jones (Demonaut, Sourvein) in tow. Over the last year Joe Sweat (Big Jesus, Manic, Mangled) had been playing with OotO since original drummer Corey Pallon parted ways. Sweat’s fast-paced metal style had put an accelerator on group’s rock ‘n’ roll drumming and bottom-heavy grind.
Jones’ drumming slows the group back down, restoring a bit of OotO’s original loose thunder. His drumming also makes room for numbers such as the “Dead Trees” half of “Mighty Demon Lover”/”Dead Trees” to be worked back into the setlist. Keep an ear out for more new songs that are slated for release on the group’s forthcoming The Wolves of True Diamond Hate EP due out in 2015 via Domestic Genocide. Check out Russian artist Maria Phobia’s cover art after the jump.
Order Of the Owl plays 529 on Wed., Nov. 19, with Family, Beak, and Dead Register. $5. 9 p.m. 529, 529 Flat Shoals Ave. 404-228-6769. www.529atlanta.com.
