Bardus: Stella Porta

By Sevine E. Levine
“If the Melvins, Eyehategod, Unsane, and Queens of the Stone Age all somehow co-fathered some ungodly offspring“

“If the Melvins, Eyehategod, Unsane, and Queens of the Stone Age all somehow co-fathered some ungodly offspring“ -- as written by Metalsucks -- is an accurate description of what BARDUS sounds like. Formed in 2011, BARDUS has been daring listeners to define their sound, which has been described as “genre-defying impetuosity” by Heavy Planet. Citing heavy, sludgy, groove, psychedelia, noise rock influences, the band continues to challenge listeners.

Following their debut full-length, Solus, self-released in 2013, BARDUS has been creating a name for itself through solid DIY touring and supporting national acts abroad. The band was chosen by MetalSucks to take part in their collaboration with Converse Rubber Tracks in 2014 which helped them reach more people ears. Continued touring and support has brought them to where they’re at today. Through their hard hitting style of music, BARDUS has continued to develop a sound of their own, as proven on their newest album, Stella Porta.
