With their thrashing, bucking sound, Michigan band The Native Howl infuses metal with Americana. With lead singer Alex Holycross’ mangy and guttural vocals, aggressive and mythic lyrics, and fast-paced acoustic guitar and percussion, the band conjures up an unlikely matrimony between two disparate genres, as demonstrated on “Thunderhead.” With Old Wolves, Pour Choices.
