Thy Burden was conceived in 2007 in Brooklyn, New York and has been spreading their distinct brand of low down and raw music from state to state, across borders and around the world ever since. They are the sound of whiskey induced American folklore, nostalgic of a time that is now celebrated only in books and movies while remaining conscious of modern tonality. Within the music of Thy Burden you’ll find stories of murder and the celebration of the living, the drunk and disorderly, the holy and the sinner, the lonesome and the renowned all within the structure of a sound that is grounded in American roots music with gypsy undertones and a foot stomping pace. In other words, if the ghost of Hank Williams decided to get drunk and party his way into a second death, Thy Burden would be the soundtrack of the reprise to his demise. With two full length albums to their credit and a growing following, Thy Burden is quickly becoming a new standard in American music.

Includes both released & unreleased tracks from singer-songwriter/guitarist Davis Coen

Télérama Sortir
Derrière les premières compositions de ce trio psyche-folk-rock apparaissent clairement les influences (bien maîtrisées) des Doors, du Gun Club et de 16 Horsepower. Lyrique, sombre et de bon goût.

Les Boutiques Sonores
The Crow & The Deadly Nightshade, une musique qui claque comme une langue sur un palet, un rythme entêtant jusqu'à la nausée de notre médiocrité. La thérapie par le savoir-faire magique de l'électricité. Où la seule vision possible pour l'americana française, lorsque le blues reste le seul serre-dent auquel s'accrocher.

Le Figaro
The Crow and the Deadly Nightshade est sous influence CCR, The Grateful Dead, et propose donc un rock teinté de psychédélisme et de country.

MOJO Magazine
After unleashing The Power of Sixteen Horses with travelling banjo plucks, The Landing Party arrived creepily on time, immersed in the sounds of ‘70s psychos, The Cramps. The Deadly Nightshade just have that ability to drift in and out of genres, pillaging the riffs and concepts that define them and then mash them together with their own trademark bluesy undertones to create something completely unique. Not many can do it – shame so many missed it!

Gonzai
Ils ont la sauvagerie du mustang contrôlée par les grands dresseurs ancestraux. Sous le fouet de cette musique puissante et christique, ce sont des ailes qui nous poussent ; des crocs. Si seulement ce groupe avait l'envie et le courage de poser sa musique sur un disque et dans un label. Il pourrait bien être l'une des meilleures choses arrivée à ce pays depuis... depuis quoi d'ailleurs ?
