Admiral Angry

Admiral Angry was a sludge metal band from California known for their crushing, feedback-drenched sound and emotionally raw approach. Emerging in the mid-2000s, they gained a cult following for their 2009 album *Buster*, which featured tracks like "A Fire To Burn Down The World" and "9/11 ... Only Worse." Their music blended apocalyptic heaviness with bleak lyrical themes, often reflecting personal struggles, including the death of founding member Daniel Krauss’ brother (and bandmate) Kenny due to cystic fibrosis. This tragedy deeply influenced their chaotic, grief-stricken aesthetic.

The band utilized heavily detuned instruments and unconventional recording techniques to achieve their signature wall-of-noise style, earning comparisons to acts like Eyehategod and The Melvins. Despite their short-lived activity and limited discography, Admiral Angry left a lasting mark on the underground metal scene for their unflinching intensity and willingness to channel pain into their art. *Buster* remains a cult favorite for fans of extreme, experimental sludge.
