Guides For The Misguided, the latest full-length from San Diego’s -(16)- , is out today on Relapse Records!



Nearly thirty-five years on, -(16)- remains one of the most enduring, hardest sounding rock and metal entities from North America. Bobby Ferry returns at the helm as the band’s visceral vocalist and guitarist, and in true -(16)- fashion, belts out stories of pain and unhinged anguish. Ferry is absolutely seething while the band plows through a virulent mix of rock, metal, and sludge. Dion Thurman’s pounding drum set, Ferry and Alex Shuster’s heavier-than-anything-else guitars, and the lowest low end from bassist Barney Firks herald tones so low they’re nearly apocalyptic.
