Originally formed in Seattle by Jared Warren and Coady Willis, stoner metal wunderkinds Big Business have been dredging up sludgy riffs and propulsive drums since 2004. With a style that is sometimes proggy, sometimes melodic and always heavy, Big Business have been shoring up their sound for more than a decade, and the dedication to their craft shows. Their most recent album, Command Your Weather is an upbeat and minimalist post-metal journey that combines the horror iconography of punks like The Misfits with the heavy, bombastic density of early Black Sabbath.
