Giant Squid

The self released debut from Giant Squid, Metridium Field, produced by SUPERSTAR PRODUCER BILLY ANDERSON (Neurosis, High On Fire, Mr. Bungle, Melvins) in 2004, garnered the attention of highly eclectic progressive metal label, The End Records, and the band quickly inked a deal in 2005. Because Metridium Field is what hooked The End in the first place, the band felt like it was fit for their debut on the label. But, Giant Squid had gone through several members coming and going since that records completion, and had started to explore different creative spaces in their song writing.

The group released several demos, including a 3 track CD, given as a freebie, that astounded critics all over France.
