Tomahawk
Formed in California in 2000, Tomahawk is a Mike Patton project that can be seen
as an alternative metal supergroup. The presence of Duane Denison (The Jesus
Lizard) on guitar, John Stanier (Helmet) on drums, and Kevin Rutmanis (The
Melvins) on bass, is more than enough to merit this description. Experimental
and corrosive, Tomahawk shines as early as 2001's Tomahawk. Mit Gas in 2003 and
the conceptual Anonymous in 2007, as well as the combo's extensive touring,
cement its reputation. Recorded under live studio conditions, 2013's Oddfellows
emphasizes Tomahawk's most metal vein.
