Boneless Ones

—

The Boneless Ones formed in Berkeley, California, in 1984. Initially, they weren’t even a musical group—more a cadre of Pro-Am aspiring punks aligned to a single skate-or-die goal. The genesis of the moniker goes back to Fox and cohort Takaki pilfering boneless stickers from grocery store meat departments. They plastered the ‘boneless’ red decals everywhere. Then, still, without a band, they designed a logo. When a skate photo of Fox, Takaki, and ripper Joel Chavez appeared in East Bay fanzine Cometbus, they were mistaken for a real-life band. Naturally, Chavez’s trick—called a “boneless”—combined with youthful guerilla marketing tactics had paid off. The Boneless Ones were officially born. Obligatory lineup changes eventually coalesced into Fox and Takaki bringing in Joe Satriani-educated guitarist Luke Skeels and Fang drummer Tim Stilletto. Not long after, the quartet wrote and recorded Skate for the Devil with Kevin Army. The rest, the adage goes, is history.

La Sombra

—

La Sombra, hailing from San Jose, has swiftly ascended to the forefront of the San Francisco Bay Area’s doom metal scene. The band, composed of Sebastian, Alan, and Aiden, has captivated audiences with their heavy, atmospheric sound that pays homage to their influences, ranging from Black Sabbath to Uncle Acid and The Deadbeats, Red Fang, Weed Eater, and more.

In early 2024, La Sombra signed with Psyched! Records, marking a significant milestone in their career. This partnership has propelled them further into the spotlight, culminating in the release of their latest single, “Walrider.” Accompanied by a haunting music video, “Walrider” showcases the band’s talent for blending crushing riffs, brooding vocals, and an eerie, immersive atmosphere.

La Sombra‘s music resonates deeply with fans of doom metal, thanks to their ability to weave intricate, dark narratives into their songs. Their live performances are a testament to their dedication and passion, leaving audiences in awe and solidifying their reputation as one of the most important doom bands in the Bay Area.

As La Sombra continues to evolve and push the boundaries of doom metal, their influence and reach are set to expand even further, making them a band to watch in the ever-growing landscape of heavy music.
