RECENT NEWS! EAGLE CLAW is an explosive, unbridled force.  Possessing an uncanny songwriting sense, fearless innovation, unparalleled technical ability and a bottomless pool of raw talent and creativity, the Austin-based "InstruMETAL" quartet is inarguably one of the "Live Music Capital of the World"'s most exciting new bands. This Friday, October 14, EAGLE CLAW will launch a U.S. tour with a hometown headlining show at the Scoot Inn as part of the Austin monthly metal series "Black Friday", presented by Thrasher Magazine, 101x No Control Radio, Knuckle Rumbler and ACTION! PR.  From there, EAGLE CLAW will take its formidable live show to stages in Dallas, Chicago, NYC, Atlanta and more as part of a two week headlining tour that will run through November 3 in Shreveport, LA.  Named for a style of Chinese martial arts known for its gripping techniques and pressure point strikes, EAGLE CLAW will team up with like minded heavy acts such as Boris, Rwake, East of the Wall, True Widow and more over the course of the tour.

Press

  • "Watching EAGLE CLAW is only half the experience. The other half is a physical experience. You get to feel it. Or maybe "survive" is a better word. It's just relentless, minor key riffage."  Austin Chronicle
  • "Austin-based instrumental metal band prefers waves of forceful guitar riffs over showy solos." Austin-American Statesman
