YEGG are bringing old-school death metal to a city near you, and their next stop is the Chill House in a show hosted by Hold the Mustard Productions alongside three other talented artists, with YEGG using a unique style that spans various different influences and sounds throughout their experienced roster. Their a band built off of skill and precision - and they are everything that a metal band should be in modern times while still staying true to a form that is considered old-school.
Their sound is equal parts brutal and pure expression, and they're a band that are uniquely themselves through all of their various influences that are used to push their music to new dimensions. The sound of YEGG is hugely captivating and immersive, and their style is something few other bands could do as well as they have.
Kyden McCormick, the band's guitarist and "head of the pack" was incredible enough to give detailed insight about the band and what people can come to expect from them, and you won't want to miss out on their show this weekend - it's bound to be an unforgettable night of relentless, headbanging metal music for all ages, and YEGG are just one of many talents that will be performing on the Chill House stage Saturday evening.
