Owen Hart News + PANTERA Covers Set W/ BTBAM Vocalist

From the inbox:

BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME vocalist Tommy Rogers will front Tacoma metal maniacs OWEN HART for a special, one-time-only, PANTERA cover set, January 8 at El Corazon in Seattle. The BTBAM-Owen Hart collaboration is part of a free benefit show with proceeds going to Rosie McPherson, mother of the late Brian Redman (3 INCHES OF BLOOD, TRIAL.)

Owen Hart guitarist Tony Wolfe says it was a no-brainer when the organizer of the show approached the band about the collaboration: “We cover Pantera all the time.”

Standouts of the Northwest scene, Owen Hart delivers pure metal with the vitality of a DIY grindcore band, earning such tags as “SLAYER meets DROPDEAD” and “PANTERA meets PIGDESTROYER.” Owen Hart’s debut full-length, Earth Control, hits stores January 18 on Vitriol Records, the label founded by Jason Schmidt of GRAF ORLOCK.

Owen Hart also have two tracks on the recent “This Comp Kills Fascists, Vol. 2″ compilation on Relapse Records, curated by Scott Hull of Pig Destroyer (both of which can be streamed below).
