Hailing from the blackest heart of the Midlands, UK-based trio Master Charger deliver a fierce and unmistakable blend of groove-drenched doom, sludge, and blues-laced rock ‘n’ roll—an explosive sound fans have come to describe as a “Satanic Blues Rumble.” Now signed to Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records, the band is entering a powerful new chapter in their heavy underground journey.
Formed in 2006 from the ashes of earlier semi-successful projects, Master Charger quickly established a name for themselves with their bold and gritty sonic identity. Their discography includes the crushing debut Unity in Black (2011), the hard-hitting Eroding Empires (2016), and the dark and brooding Origin of the Lugubrious(2020). Over the years, their relentless live energy has seen them share stages with titans of the genre such as Monolord, Orange Goblin, Black Rainbows, Conan, Raging Speedhorn, Fireball Ministry, Dead Witches, Overkill, Alunah, and Paradise Lost. They’ve also left their mark on major underground festivals including HRH Doom vs Stoner, HRH Metal Chapter III, and Hammerfest XI.
Drawing inspiration from the pioneering heaviness of Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Motörhead, while channeling the raw aggression of Slayer, Venom, Celtic Frost, and Black Flag, Master Charger craft a sound that is both classic and cutting. With echoes of Mountain, Free, Trouble, Saint Vitus, and Pentagram, the band delivers a riff-laden experience that’s both unrelenting and steeped in vintage groove.
Unapologetically loud, fiercely authentic, and always evolving, Master Charger continue to be a driving force in the doom/sludge scene—ready to shake the underground to its core.
