Devoid Of Love & Light

Band names go a long way in helping paint a figurative picture in the listeners mind of what to expect before one ever hits 'play.' When it comes to Extortionist, you think crime?you think gritty, raw, merciless and unsavory and maybe, just maybe, a little sprinkling of suaveness. When it comes to the Pacific Northwest?s resident moshslingers, those premonitions from their name are exactly what you get. As a band who have proven themselves exemplary at styles of heavy music ranging from downtempo deathcore to grunge- tinted metal, Extortionist are more than just a jack-of-all-trades; they?re masters. Utilizing bold, roaring guitars overtop crushing, steamrolling percussion and vocals that run the gamut from guttural to grating, pitched singing and topped off with?you guessed it?a now-infamous dodgeball-smack snare, Extortionist have proven that not only are they incredible at what they do, they?re a band that the heavy scene just can?t go without. Emerging from the relatively understated pastures and prairies of Coeur d?Alene in early 2013, to say Extortionist have been on a journey since their inception would be an understatement. With The Black Sheep instantly earning them notoriety with its combination of feral grooves and eviscerating breakdowns, Extortionist proved themselves early on as prodigal masters of all things punishingly heavy. As the band grew and gained more experience on the road in light of the success of their debut EP, their style and dynamic grew as well.
