Check out The Mighty Swine and their new video for Last Man Standing

April 29, 2014

The Mighty Swine is a progressive melodic metal band that I hope you are already familiar with. If not, please allow me to introduce you to your new favorite metal band. The Mighty Swine from Cincinnati, Ohio deliver metal the way it is meant to be, full on shredding guitars, fierce bass lines, heavy hitting drums and powerful vocals on lyrical hooks that feed your need for good music! The Mighty Swine features Cincinnati legend, Mike Skimmerhorn (CHASTAIN/CJSS) on Vocals / Bass, Stacey Donahue and Jeff Tong on Guitar, and Rory Faciane on Drums. They have just released their video for their new song, Last Man Standing. The video was shot and directed by Nikk Hearn-Sutton (RUSH – Time Machine DVD) Last Man Standing is a politically charged modern social commentary on the ever increasing police state tactics used by the American Government against it’s own people ala: the Clive Bundy standoff. A radical change from the party hard content of previous releases, The Mighty Swine are a different animal on this release. Check out the video here: The song is the title [Read More]
